** Description changed:

  [Impact]
  The Intel Ice driver in 5.4 does not contain the PCIIDs necessary to allow 
the driver to see the E810 network cards.  Without this, users running Focal GA 
will be unable to deploy Ubuntu via MAAS, or use these cards at all 
post-install when installing from an ISO.
  
  The patch to resolve this landed in Groovy, so this should be a pretty
  straightforward pick to 5.4.  The patch set is small.
  
  [Test Case]
  
  This is easily reproducible by simply trying to install Focal onto a
  system with an E810 NIC.  The NIC is not recognized and thus is not
  configurable or usable.
  
  [Where problems could occur]
  
  All this patch does is add PCI ID information for E810 to the driver to
  enable a wider set of cards to be used. Problems should not involve
  regressions to existing supported hardware, if anything the biggest
  issue could be discovering that after adding the PCI IDs, further
  patches are necessary to fully enable support in the Ice driver.
  
  [Other Info]
  
  This was reported by a hardware partner and blocks certification for
  systems that use E810 based NICs as their primary network devices.
