It's a router and I need that interface.
The 82573E is fairly uncommon, I don't think there are too many people who can test this. I've been trying to find systems it fails on (because I have a few routers with em(4) in them and I need to check they'll be ok before I upgrade them - always wise, but doubly so around the time of a hackathon especially when it has specifically involved work on this driver) and haven't yet seen a problem.
