Bug Description
After installing Ubuntu and Kubuntu alpha 5, my Intel Pro/1000 82566MM in a Lenovo X61s is rendered non-functional. The e1000e module (and e1000 on older kernels) fails to load on all distributions I've tried, reporting a checksum error. The symptoms resemble a known and fixed issue with the e1000 driver on Thinkpads, where awaking from a deep power state causes the firmware's report of the MAC address to be corrupted. However, none of the fixes for that problem work in this case (removing and reloading module, or loading with media plugged in)
It appears the firmware is now corrupt. However, when loading the e1000 module in older kernels, the connection functions fine when ordered to ignore the eeprom checksum.
See this thread for more information, and currently one other corroboration of the issue on a similar chipset.

*-network UNCLAIMED

- vista found new hardware, but isn't able to activate it!
It looks like the firmware of the LAN card has been changed!
A firmware upgrade from didn't solve the problem!
Same problem with hardy 8.04.1 live cd.
