Would it be possible for you to test the latest upstream kernel? Refer
to https://wiki.ubuntu.com/KernelMainlineBuilds . Please test the latest
v4.1 kernel[0].

If this bug is fixed in the mainline kernel, please add the following
tag 'kernel-fixed-upstream'.

If the mainline kernel does not fix this bug, please add the tag:
'kernel-bug-exists-upstream'.

If you are unable to test the mainline kernel, for example it will not boot, please add the tag: 'kernel-unable-to-test-upstream'.
Once testing of the upstream kernel is complete, please mark this bug as "Confirmed".


Thanks in advance.

Title:
  e1000e not initialized ~30% of bootups

Status in linux package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  if i watch the nic LEDs while booting they go dark several times,
  which i presume to correlate with hardware resets.  after each reset,
  the LEDs stay out for several seconds, longer than most nics.  after
  the final reset the LEDs don't come back on until after the system
  comes ready for login.  the network is functional on approximately 70%
  of bootups, but is not functional on approximately 30% of bootups.
  from these observations i'm guessing some stage of initialization of
  the e1000e driver is sometimes missed or perhaps not waiting long
  enough before giving up.  is it effective to file such a bug here or
  ought i be interacting with kernel.org?
