Title:
  Intel PRO/1000 network driver e1000e doesn't always regain connection

Status in linux package in Ubuntu:
  Triaged

Bug description:
  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.
