Bug Description
When I switch on my system, it will boot and load e1000e, but no eth* interface is present. Even repeated rmmod and modprobe don't bring up the interface. After a reboot (i.e. no fresh power-up) it works just fine. After the next power-cycle the problem is there again. The system board is a EVGA P55V with onboard Intel 82578DC controller.
I found the difference between the "good" (reboot) and "bad" (power-on) is the last line of this syslog snippet:

I did a quick search for this problem, and it looks like it could be a BIOS issue, not setting up interrupts correctly. Could you please check for any BIOS upgrades for your system?
