How bad ;-(
Being network an indispensable service for todays computers, I always add
a secondary NIC on my systems to avoid these kind of problems, so if the
embedded gigabit board (usually an Intel one) has any problem I can still
use the secondary PCI-based (with a different chipset, usually a Realtek
one) :-)
Anyway, to get the problem solved as soon as possible, you can add yourself
to the upstream bug (should you think you're having the same problem) and
append your data there.
