Bug#523342: installation report Dell Optiplex 960: NIC driver not available

[Christian Perrier]

Package: installation-reports
Boot method: Netinstall
Image version: <Full URL to image you downloaded is best>
Date: 2009-04-09
Machine: Dell Optiplex 960
Processor: Quad 2.66 G
Memory: 4 G
[O] = OK, [E] = Error (please elaborate below), [ ] = didn't try it
Initial boot: [0]
Detect network card: [X]
Stop here. Can't find NIC Intel 82567. Ubuntu has it, but apparently
it's not in Squeeze

To kernel people: is this something that's likely to be fixed in
2.6.28|2.6.29 ?

Yes, 2.6.27 already supports it in e1000e module, check:

***@neumann { ~/hacking/linux-2.6 }$ git describe
f4187b56e1f8a05dd110875d5094b21b51ebd79b
v2.6.27-rc4-296-gf4187b5

OK, so what would be the best way to tag this bug report as "will be
fixed when we have an installer that includes this kernel"?
