I just set up my web server to serve the packet of death: $ wget http://zorinaq.com/pub/intel-packet-of-death.txt http://zorinaq.com/pub/intel-packet-of-death.

I just set up my web server to serve the packet of death: $ wget http://zorinaq.com/pub/intel-packet-of-death.txt http://zorinaq.com/pub/intel-packet-of-death.txt It has 0x32 at offset 0x47f regardless of the size of the IP and TCP headers. Try to run the wget AS SOON AFTER HAVING COLD BOOTED the machine (it is the very first packet of 1152+ bytes that determines if the NIC will crash or be inoculated until the next cold boot; well... unless it is the "no-op" packet). Edit: fixed link.
