Generally speaking, e1000 maintainence has been handled very poorly over
the past few years, I have to say.

Fixes take forever to propagate even when someone other than the
maintainer provides a working and tested fix, just like this case.

Jeff, please take e1000 maintainence seriously and get these critical
bug fixes propagated.

Thank you.
