I used alpha 6 with this Kernel (64bit version) on a ThinkPad R61. I installed Ubuntu intrepid on its release date and used it until today. In that period of time I used the (wired) ethernet device two times (checking mails and surfing -> not much traffic). When I read this bugreport I immediately started (the never used) Windows Vista. The ethernet device works fine! Either 64bit version of the kernel doesn't harm anything or my ThinkPad is not be affected. Because some other ThinkPad users reported no problems in this bugreport I could imagine that the last reason is the more probable one. Should I try to avoid booting intrepid until this bug is fixed?
Thank you for working on that Problem!
