Emil, 

Please see the attachments for your requested info.  The interface name
for Intel 82574L is eth1.  FYI, we tested the same computer with the
same BIOS on 2.6.9-78 and confirmed the chipset worked with e1000e
driver.   

Thanks, 
Khanh

This is normal when using new device. The driver will not update the
bradning strings in pci.ids unless it is installed via rpm.

I tested with 2.4.21-50 kernel and 82574L device and was not able to
reproduce this issue. Link issues are generally caused by interrupt
problems. Could you please provide the following information:

1. cat /proc/interrupts (after loading the driver and ifup) 2. dmesg 3.
ethtool -t ethX 4. lspci -vvv

Also - we usually recommend to check for BIOS updates for your system if
possible.

Thanks,
Emil
