Recent Intel Ethernet driver fixes for FreeBSD

I'm sure it was, just pointing out that particular commit did break things. Would need to include any follow ups, if we pull them in.

Hmm currently I'm deprived of any FBSD build VM but I have the patches on my radar.
I'm not sure if it was just a temporary problem but apparently no more additionaly changes have been made on e1000 drivers (until now).

Maybe we could update the e1000 backport series and see if things break :-)
Shall I send a pull request?

May as well, perhaps under a different filename or method so that we can easily swap back to the other version if needed without completely reverting the work.
