I hate playing Fllow this URL.  Get to the point and provide a
synopsis. If this has to do with a kernel update breaking Intel
chipset internet interfaces then say so.

I skimmed it for you. The e1000e module in kernel 2.6.27 contains a
bad bug that can corrupt EEPROM. I think the latest F9 updates are
kernel 2.6.26, so it's not a Fedora issue at present. Move along.

However, if you are on F10, or rolling your own kernel... it might make for a 
good read.

Well I did say, At present. If you are using F10, shouldn't you be
subscribed to a different list?

 or rolling your own kernel... it might make for a good read.

Perhaps, but someone rolling their own kernel should probably be
following other sources to track potential issues. In general, your
links (below) were much better than the OP's link.

If you are using rawhide, the latest kernel disables this module till 
the bug is fixed.
