e1000e drive fails after suspend. Manual rmmod/insmod fixes it. Intel 82574L NIC.

[Bryce Nesbitt]

After upgrade to 12.04 LTS, resume after suspend results in no networking.
Unchecking "enable networking" and rechecking does nothing.
ifup/ifdown do nothing.

Networking can be restored with:
# sudo rmmod e1000e
# sudo insmod /lib/modules/3.2.0-56-generic/kernel/drivers/net/ethernet/intel/e1000e/e1000e.ko

Often pulling the network cable, and replugging, triggers the same issue.
