Unfortunately not. The machine simply locks hard as soon as it loads the kernel module, and doesn't even provide a kernel oops in messages or dmesg. It just... dies. I will open an issue on github as requested.

Please open an issue on github, we will try to reproduce this asap.
Thank you

If you are running a VMWare RHEL7 guest, and have the nic in ESXi set to E1000E, and try to replace the stock e1000e kernel module with the one included with pf_ring, the kernel module gets loaded when you turn on the interface, but then permanently bricks. The only solution to the problem is to remove the e1000e nic. Why is this causing a fault when you attempt to use the e1000e driver provided with the pfring bundled module?
