          UP BROADCAST RUNNING MULTICAST  MTU:1500  Metric:1
          RX packets:5427654 errors:0 dropped:11971 overruns:0 frame:0

Title:
  e1000e needs updating due to 82574L keeps dropping RX packets

Status in “linux” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  Description:    Ubuntu 12.04 LTS
  Release:        12.04
  Networking driver e1000e needs updating due to 82574L (and others?) keeps dropping RX packets.
  Information about how to fix it can be found here (http://www.doxer.org/learn-linux/resolved-intel-e1000e-driver-bug-on-82574l-ethernet-controller-causing-network-blipping/) but including it in the default kernel or official package would be preferable.
  This controller is popular in Supermicro servers.
