I saw a few instances of people having problems with NIC's
that use the e1000 driver.  Some with non-specific problems
most referring to "TCP segmentation offload" not working.

Of course its not really a "card" its a chipset integrated onto
the motherboard, and there are a few versions of it I believe.

Why it was switched on on one machine running the same OS I don't
know.  As a mentioned the NIC's were slightly different models
of the same chipset, and the history of the OS's was slightly
different also.

Regards, Peter.
