[ltp] e1000 use causes random machine lockups on T60p

[Brad Langhorst]

I now have 5 days (count em) 5 days of uptime...

It took me forever to figure out what was causing these random lockups.
tried USB, video drivers, heat issues, swapping memory, not using
sound...
Finally switched to using wifi instead of wired ethernet and I've been
lockup free for quite a while...

I still don't know if it's hardware or software yet.

I'm using ubuntu hardy 8.04.1

With the standard kernel 
2.6.24-21-generic

I'll try intrepid soon, but I wonder if anybody else had the same issue?
