firmware-linux-free: Packet loss after Upgrade (Intel 82576)

Subject: firmware-linux-free: Packet loss after Upgrade (Intel 82576)
Package: firmware-linux-free
Version: 2.6.32-45
Severity: important

*** Please type your report below this line ***
After upgrading kernel and related packages the dual-head NIC had massive packet loss (20-80%). 

After dowgrading back it works pretty stable again.
Both interfaces are bonded and direct links to same hardware, same software.
Please ask for further information or tests. I cannot run tests on these machines, but I have two of the same NICs available in test machines. 


Versions before upgrade, and downgraded (working OK):

# dpkg -l linux*
ii  linux-base                               2.6.32-45
