One of the more promising solutions I'm looking at for my dual-ethernet dual-monitor workstation contains an Intel 82574L Ethernet controller. I found a LOT of postings regarding a bug in the driver for this controller:
http://www.doxer.org/learn-linux/resolved-intel-e1000e-driver-bug-on-82574l-... https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=632650
but there isn't any clear indication as to whether the bug has been resolved in mainline CentOS 6.4 or not.
Has this bug been resolved?

Not sure if it has been resolved or not ... BUT ... if you rebuild this driver for your kernels, it should be solved there for sure:
http://vault.centos.org/6.4/xen4/Source/SPackages/e1000e-2.4.14-3.4.54.1.el6...
(That source RPM will build the latest upstream e1000e driver on the installed kernel)
So you should be able to use an e1000e.
Thanks, Johnny Hughes

If your problem is the one addressed in the referenced BZ, as you can see in there, the fix is in the current RHEL/CentOS 6.4. The driver version for e1000e in the distro kernel is 2.1.4-k.

If you need e1000e version 2.4.14, just install kmod-e1000e from ELRepo. :-D Version info can be found here:
