[Click] 7.x e1000 on click 1.6.0 w/ 2.6.19.2 kernel

[Joonwoo Park]

Hi Thomas,
It's seems you are using PollDevice, am I right?
I couldn't find that problem, which e1000 nic are you using? (eg 82546GB)
While looking for a problem that you posted, I've just found that ifconfig
down & up doesn't work on a interface which is running PollDevice.
Maybe I think It can be related to your problem.

Thanks.
