[Click] Click and e1000e

[Beyers Cronje]

Hi Roman,

I've done some work in the past on the e1000 driver but never had major
issues with file system damage as a result of crashes. So this is just off
the top of my head, I'm wondering if booting/using a USB flash memory
stick for testing might save time, at least it should be a lot quicker to
rebuild if things go wrong.
