I have a machine with an Intel 82567V-2 (ICH10) onboard gigabit
ethernet, and Hardy does not detect and cannot use this card even with
the latest released kernel (2.6.24-24). I think this is the same problem
as above, i.e. that the e1000e driver just does not recognise the PCI
IDs for the device, and that if it did, it would work.

Loading the stock e1000 and e1000e drivers only shows the banner,
nothing else:

and no ethernet interface is created.

It seems that the latest Intrepid kernels have support for this driver.
It should work with e1000e as long as the correct PCI IDs are added.

Unfortunately I don't know enough ubuntu-fu to work out which intrepid
patch added these PCI IDs.
