Hi, commit b20a774495671f037e7160ea2ce8789af6b61533 Author: David Ertman <davidx.m.ertman@xxxxxxxxx> Date: Tue Mar 25 04:27:55 2014 +0000 e1000e: Fix no connectivity when driver loaded with cable out fixes an issue which affects quite some of the newer Laptops and also Desktops (e.g. AOI-PCs) which are based on mobile chipsets. I don't know how far this reaches back, but at least the 3.13 and 3.14 kernels need this fix. Jeff, David, can you tell? Please consider for inclusion.
