    Nope, udev with normal distro config will load e1000e just fine.
    A custom system, without automatic loading of modules (or with
    unavailable module) could have this problem. A root fs on NFS or
    something like that, too.

    But while it can be changed for 2.6.25 it will break with 2.6.26 again,
    definitely.
