It's a known issue. I've been promised that this issue would be looked up in Intel's errata by people who had the access to it, but I haven't got the results yet.

The card itself doesn't report its revision in details. It can be checked by `lspci'. Rev 8 is 82559, if I remember, and rev 9 is 82559ER.
