In this case I believe it to be a bug in our code, instead of adding new support. The driver code supports other device IDs for this same chip. The kernel driver advertises through our probe table and in our readme that we support this device (code is in e1000_main.c) but we don't load on it correctly due to an error when we submitted the patches (e1000_hw.c/h). Patch is very simple and low risk, but it is your call.
