I've seen the same problem recently, and it happens with RHEL 4 as well.  The 
issue, as I can tell, is that the e1000 driver shipped by Red Hat is 
incompatible with certain e1000 chipsets, possibly specific to older ones, 
but I would think the T60 wouldn't qualify for that.  Unfortunately our only 
solution has been to switch to a different card so that the e1000 driver 
wasn't used.  I'm beginning to think that there's a bug in a RHEL-specific 
patch, and that it won't get fixed until enough people file official bugzilla 
reports on it...
