Hi Tony and Przemek,

I am writing to bring Bugzilla #221729 to your attention (reported there in 2026-07-06 19:39), as it describes a logic bug in e1000_read_nvm_spt() that can cause silent shadow RAM corruption on SPT+ PCH chips.

A fix for this was recently submitted to the intel-wired-lan list by Ivy Lopez. I wanted to ensure the Bugzilla ticket is linked to this discussion for tracking purposes.

Please let me know if any further information is needed from me.

Hi Ruan,

Thanks for the information. I've have it queued up; I'm waiting for room to send it. I'll let you know if anything else is needed.

Thanks,
Tony

Thanks,
