Sorry for the delayed response.  This fix is queued in our Trusty kernel
which will start undergoing the kernel SRU process on Mon Aug 17.  That
kernel will undergo a 3 week regression testing process before we'll
promote that kernel to the trusty-updates pocket, ie ETA is Sept 5.
However, once this kernel hits trusty-proposed next week we can engage
with the release team to respin d-i so that both are in sync and
available for testing from a end user's perspective.

Title:
  Add sfc to nic-modules udeb

Status in linux package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Committed
Status in linux source package in Trusty:
  Fix Committed
Status in linux source package in Vivid:
  Fix Committed

Bug description:
  == [Trusty][Vivid]SRU Justification ==

  It is being requested that we add the sfc driver to the nic-modules
  udeb to facilitate PXE booting nodes with Solarflare network adapters.

  == Fix ==
  Add the sfc driver to our nic-modules udeb.  This is being requested for
  Trusty and Vivid.  Note, this has already been applied to Wily master-next.

  == Testing ==
  I've done test builds of Wily, Vivid, and Trusty and can confirm the sfc driver is seeded into the nic-modules udeb:

  $ dpkg -c nic-modules-4.2.0-3-generic-di_4.2.0-3.3_amd64.udeb | grep "sfc.ko"
  -rw-r--r-- root/root    495305 2015-08-04 22:17 ./lib/modules/4.2.0-3-generic/kernel/drivers/net/ethernet/sfc/sfc.ko

  $ dpkg -c nic-modules-3.19.0-26-generic-di_3.19.0-26.27_amd64.udeb | grep "sfc.ko"
  -rw-r--r-- root/root    464452 2015-08-04 22:21 ./lib/modules/3.19.0-26-generic/kernel/drivers/net/ethernet/sfc/sfc.ko

  $ dpkg -c nic-modules-3.13.0-62-generic-di_3.13.0-62.101_amd64.udeb | grep "sfc.ko"
  -rw-r--r-- root/root    436284 2015-08-04 22:22 ./lib/modules/3.13.0-62-generic/kernel/drivers/net/ethernet/sfc/sfc.ko
