    Onboard Intel Pro/1000 copper NIC not detected on Dell Dimension

    It seems Fedora have fixed this in one of their kernel package releases:

    There is an article here showing the same problem:
    http://blog.dataloss.nl/perma/ubuntu-510-breezy-on-dell-dimension-9150/

    Fix stops working though if the user upgrades beyond 2.6.12-9.

    Apparently this is fixed in Dapper. Will the fix be backported?
