We've just put 16 new computers into operation with Intel Pro 1000 NICs
and the 2.4.24 kernel supports these very well. I had trouble with the
e1000 driver in the 2.4.20 kernel and in looking at the driver source code
it appears to me that that driver is undergoing (or at least underwent)
some significant development in recent kernel versions. But our experience
with the e1000 driver with the 2.4.24 kernel is very good.
