I'm running a 2.6.26-rc6 kernel on a X61s laptop, which is an
all-Intel ICH8, using the e1000e driver, and I haven't been been
bitten with the problem either. I'm using an Ubuntu Hardy userspace,
which means I'm using an 1.4.0.90 X Server with an i915 drm version
1.6.0 20060119, and my e1000 EEPROM hasn't been blasted to oblivion
yet!

Personally, I don't plan on upgrading to a newer userspace until we
figure out what the heck is going on. :-)
