Hi,

I apologize in advance for posting on two lists at once and for not
even being subscribed to e1000-devel.

Ever since upgrading to 3.8.x, I'm unable to use my wired connection
(e1000e - Intel Corporation 82579LM Gigabit) immediately after power
on. I have to boot into an older kernel (3.2.0 I happen to have around)
and _then_ boot into 3.8.1. There are no errors in dmesg that I can
see. The only one behaving strangely is NetworkManager who simply says
the device is managed and skips it. Also, there's no 'link becomes
ready' in dmesg either (and I swear the cable is plugged in).

Has anyone else encountered this?

Thanks,
