Exactly what kernel version do you run? If you didn't know, there is
support for this card starting at kernel 2.6.26-18, thanks to a patch
that I have tested and pushed to the kernel team. If this is a
self-compiled kernel, check that it includes
0001-e1000e-test-for-unusable-MSI-support.patch and
0002-e1000e-add-support-for-82574l.patch otherwise this report is not
valid, as the issue is not related.
