The 15.04 includes 7.3.x version of the e1000 driver:

# modinfo e1000
filename:       /lib/modules/3.19.0-23-generic/kernel/drivers/net/ethernet/intel/e1000/e1000.ko
version:        7.3.21-k8-NAPI
license:        GPL
description:    Intel(R) PRO/1000 Network Driver
author:         Intel Corporation, <linux.nics@xxxxxxxxx>

However, the latest version from Intel is 8.0.35 from 2011:

https://downloadcenter.intel.com/download/9180/Network-Adapter-Driver-
for-Gigabit-PCI-Based-Network-Connections-for-Linux-

Version: 8.0.35 (Latest)
Date: 10/17/2011
Size: 0.21 MB
Language: English
Operating Systems: Linux*

Would be great to upgrade Ubuntu to newer version since the older 7.x
version for e1000 has well known problems with Tx Unit Hang error.
