yeah, I certainly understand that. > I'll try to get my paws on that other R61 and copy its EEPROM. Is there > anything other than the EEPROM that are specific to each machine?

The only change should be the MAC address, I would only mess with the first few bytes. I'm concerned that you're actually having some other driver problem that isn't getting reported, like a wierd semaphore issue or something. can you build the e1000e-0.4.1.7.tar.gz driver from sourceforge and try it? While you're doing that, please build (and install if you so choose) with this --- e1000_osdep.h~ 2008-08-20 15:03:54.000000000 -0700 +++ e1000_osdep.h 2008-08-29 09:02:05.000000000 -0700 @@ -63,8 +63,8 @@ #define ETH_ADDR_LEN ETH_ALEN -#define DEBUGOUT(S) -#define DEBUGOUT1(S, A...) +#define DEBUGOUT(S) printk(KERN_DEBUG S) +#define DEBUGOUT1(S, A...) printk(KERN_DEBUG S, A) #define DEBUGFUNC(F) DEBUGOUT(F "\n") #define DEBUGOUT2 DEBUGOUT1 when you rebuild and load the driver it will log a ton of stuff, please send it in a reply. The thing that most disturbed me is that you said your BIOS could still read the MAC address (if it wasn't pulling it from somewhere else). This indicates that it is likely your eeprom is still there and intact.
