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. -- Jesse
