Nope, udev with normal distro config will load e1000e just fine.
A custom system, without automatic loading of modules (or with
unavailable module) could have this problem. A root fs on NFS or
something like that, too.

But while it can be changed for 2.6.25 it will break with 2.6.26 again,
definitely.
