Reverting to assigned state, since it has been discovered that this bug
is not yet resolved in the 1st respin of the U7 beta candidate (-39.EL).

kernel-smp-2.6.9-30.EL.jwltest.107.i686.rpm

PRO/1000PT	(82572EI)	Future --> PASS

e1000 driver in kernel-smp-2.4.21-39.EL.jwltest.82.i686.rpm was tested against 
a variety of legacy and currently shipping Intel NICs/LOMs. All tests have 
passed.
