[Craig Wolf]

I know we have SuSE guys out there, like myself, and we like to play with the latest stuff...just beware.

If you have the e1000e Intel NIC, avoid OpenSuSE 11.1 beta as well as Fedora 9 & 10.
"Bug reports for Fedora 9 and 10 ( https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=459202 ) and Linux Kernel 2.6.27rc1 ( http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=11382 ) match the symptoms reported by SUSE users. "
"The e1000e driver is the new one for pci-e based intel pro 1000 chipsets" from slashdot poster.
