Very fast work indeed, yesterday I was given new
firmware and today it looks like the issue is resolved.

Yesterday I received from Intel an upgrade from pre-production
(v0.5) 82574 firmware to production (v1.0) firmware and tools to
install it.  With the upgrade the problem no longer appears to be
reproducible.

Thanks to all at Intel for tracking this issue down and solving
it.  Esp Jesse Brandeburg who kept the e1000.sf.net bug updated
with new things to try and even offered to send along hardware to
help in debugging.  Thanks all!

Arthur
