Okey so I tried to boot it in windows, and it would seem that the hardware is in fact broken - the leds at the ethernet port are always on, and it doesn't react when I'm plugging a cable into it. No freezes in windows though. The driver should probably handle the situation more gracefully, but for now I can just blacklist the module.
I can still try to test it with updated bios (when I get some blank CD- Rs) and upstream kernel if you think that would change anything. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1374747 Title: e1000e causes intermittent freezes To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1374747/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
