intel 82578DC ethernet

[reasons]

I have a PC with an intel 82578DC ethernet variation which isn't supported in the 8.0 or 9.0 hardware notes, just wondering if there were any plans to support it.

And if it at all helps, the linux kernel module is here.

e1000_ich8lan.c: * 82578DM Gigabit Network Connection
e1000_ich8lan.c: * 82578DC Gigabit Network Connection

seems to be supported in 8.0-STABLE. I am using the DM-version. At initialisation it thinks link goes up and down 3-5 times, but afterwards this chip works fine (on Intel DQ57TM)

I'm running 8.0 Stable.
Now, how do I get the NIC running?
Any help is greatly appreciated!
