Public bug reported:

SRU Justification:

Impact: The e1000e driver shipped with Hardy does not support the 82574L
cards found on some newer server boards. This prevents any network
connection for those.

Fix: Pick the latest standalone driver from Intel and replace the
current e1000e code in the backports modules package with that.

Testcase: Using the new backports driver network card(s) are detected
and working. Before that no network card was detected.

** Affects: linux-backports-modules-2.6.24 (Ubuntu)
     Importance: Wishlist
     Assignee: Stefan Bader (stefan-bader-canonical)
         Status: In Progress
