HP NC360T Dual Port Gigabit Adapter with kernel drivers?

[Andreas]

Yo,
I've got a HP DL140 acting as firewall, and need to add some extra NICs 
to it. Our hardware provider suggested the HP NC360T Dual Port Gigabit 
Adapter (PCI Express), and a quick look at the HP homepage told me there 
are drivers for Linux, but they are installed from RPM and made for SUSE 
and Red Hat. The chipset is Intel 82571EB.

Is the e1000 kernel driver working with this card? If so, is the driver 
working well? Found some sites that claimed the card droped the link 
from time to time.
