Description of problem:
Similar to the second issue that Fab mentioned in his presentation at 26c3, this affects the e1000e driver. See https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=550907#c0 issue #2 for the description, and this https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=550907#c4. This bug is filed to make sure we fix this too.

A quick heads up to all the release owners on this bug, the patch I posted upstream for bz 550915 (specifically the e1000 bits) will apply pretty cleanly to e1000e here.

seems that this shouldn't be new, since it has been fixed, and can be closed, since it no longer depends on any open bugs.
