And the driver version would be the significance. It appears there are 
(very) serious issues with the e1000e driver and the 82574L chip. I'm 
having to use 2.6.30 on a F12 server with an 82574L to have network 
connectivity at all. The issue has been reported[1] and it is being 
investigated. We had a hard time convincing Intel it wasn't a 
motherboard manufacturer problem.
