    We have had historic problems where a very non standard EEPROM setup on
    some ancient thinkpads ended up with bad stuff happening due to smbus
    probing and the like. You would then however expect to see the bug occur
    without loading the e1000* drivers (unless you needed an interaction
    between the two)
