This greps shows my only two entries in drivers/pci/pci.ids and I guess that does not mean, that the kernel supplied e1000 is aware of it. Funny think that cat /proc/pci and lspci (which is installed now) both do not translate the device id in this name... At the moment I won't run update-pciids because it is hard to connect the machine to the internet and I think it only changes the display of lspci from unknown device to Intel Server ....
