Bug#512546: just binary patch it..

[Clemens Fruhwirth <clemens@endorphin.org>]

Binary patch PCI-IDs:

dd bs=1 count=73332 if=e1000e.ko > head
dd bs=1 skip=73334 if=e1000e.ko > tail
echo -ne \\0336\\0020 > middle
cat head middle tail > e1000e.ko

Works only with the 105756 sized binary from Lenny i386 release CDs.
You have to modprobe e1000e.ko manually, of course.

I like Debian because it puts stability before features. But the
difference between regular software features and hardware support is
that there is no option of downgrading/keeping the older version. So
go ahead and add the PCI-IDs; for hardware there is nothing noble
about choosing "unsupported" over "not fully tested, please consider
this experimental"

.. and btw the drivers survived the Debian installation pretty well
with this hack.
