Nope, udev with normal distro config will load e1000e just fine. A custom system, without automatic loading of modules (or with unavailable module) could have this problem. A root fs on NFS or something like that, too. But while it can be changed for 2.6.25 it will break with 2.6.26 again, definitely. -- Krzysztof Halasa -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe netdev" in the body of a message to majordomo@...r.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
