Bug Description
if i watch the nic LEDs while booting they go dark several times, which i presume to correlate with hardware resets. after each reset, the LEDs stay out for several seconds, longer than most nics. after the final reset the LEDs don't come back on until after the system comes ready for login. the network is functional on approximately 70% of bootups, but is not functional on approximately 30% of bootups. from these observations i'm guessing some stage of initialization of the e1000e driver is sometimes missed or perhaps not waiting long enough before giving up. is it effective to file such a bug here or ought i be interacting with kernel.org?

i was expecting launchpad to allow me to choose to file this bug against the linux-image package.
