em(4): 4-port Intel Pro/1000 PF card not detected

[Charles Owens]

Well, I believe we have an answer:

http://www.intel.com/support/network/adapter/pro100/sb/CS-030873.htm

The motherboard definitely is PCIe 2.0 .   The page suggests these cards 
for use with a PCIe2.0 system:

# Intel® PRO/1000 PT Quad Port LP Server Adapter (P/N EXPI9404PTL)
# Intel® Gigabit ET Quad Port Server Adapter (P/N E1G44ET)
# Intel® Gigabit ET2 Quad Port Server Adapter (P/N E1G44ET2)


Notably there's not a PF option shown, so we're going to have to think 
about that.   But in any case, do you think these models will function 
with 8.0?  8.0 plus a patch?  .... or is 8.1 the only option?

Thanks,
Charles
