Public bug reported:

On our Dell E6440 laptops we found that the Wired network connection is
sometimes not re-established when going from Wifi back to Ethernet, e.g.
when booting without LAN and then putting the laptop back in its dock.

The following upstream patch resolved this problem for us in Kubuntu
14.04 LTS kernels 3.13.0-34-generic and 3.13.0-40-generic:

https://git.kernel.org/cgit/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git/patch/drivers/net/ethernet/intel/e1000e?id=b20a774495671f037e7160ea2ce8789af6b61533

Please incorporate this patch in the Kubuntu kernel so that the
/lib/modules/3.13.0-XX-
generic/kernel/drivers/net/ethernet/intel/e1000e/e1000e.ko module
doesn't have to rebuilt manually every time we follow a kernel update.
Thanks.
