I wasn't sure if it would work with your hardware, I'm sorry to see that it did not. I do know that the system flash is what contains our eeprom so even though the device is not visible on the bus it is likely you can restore the flash information using another utility, like a BIOS upgrade/downgrade. The only suggestions I have left are for you to try a bios downgrade/upgrade. I do know that internally we have been able to rescue machines from this state, but external tools may not be available. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by the Moblin Your Move Developer's challenge Build the coolest Linux based applications with Moblin SDK & win great prizes Grand prize is a trip for two to an Open Source event anywhere in the world http://moblin-contest.org/redirect.php?banner_id=100&url=/ _______________________________________________ E1000-devel mailing list E1000-devel@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/e1000-devel
