Yes, that's good enough. :)  I was asking in order to tell if it was
3.0.0-1 or 3.0.0-2 (since both use the same linux-image-3.0.0-1-amd64
package name).

Now that I look more closely, it seems it's probably worth testing
v3.1-rc1 or later[1] first.  There have been some e1000e fixes
recently, including

	    e1000e: 82579 intermittently disabled during S0->Sx

	    When repeatedly cycling Sx->S0 states with the network cable unplugged,
	    the 82579 PHY may not initialize as expected and may require a full power
	    cycle to recover functionality to the device.

Sorry, I should have checked sooner.
