[PVE-User] Serious error with e1000e driver with Intel Corporation 82574L NIC

[Pongrácz István]

 Hi,

I found that, with the recent pve kernel the network controller just crash and cannot back to life again without power off/on the system.

This occurs on a almost no-traffic interface after 1-2 days.

I found the following conversations on the net, exactly the same situation:
