i have also heard of it, as i wrote the original code and am currently typing this on a terminal with 2x 82574 lom chips. i have no idea why that was commented out. you may have better luck with 82563 from 9atom. it supports a more hardware than the one in the distribution, and works around some intel-mb bugs. - erik
