my current status mail was posted earlier today to lkml from this

address, since then we've had a local reproduction and are going for

number two.  The reproduction seems racy, i.e. it doesn't happen every

time, so we put it in a loop doing detect, check eeprom, detect, etc,

and we'll see if it fails.
Reproduction seems to consistently be around X probing time, no firm

leads yet.  As for Intel we have keithp and jbarnes as well as arjan,

auke, myself and a few others involved.
We have some patches to lock the nvm down, we'll be posting those

tonight and tomorrow, I also have some debug logic (and fixes) to help

prove that we don't think it's a race in e1000e.
