It should be removed then. When merging the Intel versions of driver to
FreeBSD, I've noticed that some PCI IDs disappeared from vendor driver.
Since I couldn't obtain any comments from the release tarball, I decided
to be on safe side and leave these PCI IDs in the driver untouched.

Which exact one are you speaking about? The E1000_DEV_ID_82542, that is
equal to 0x1000 is supported by em-6.1.4 vendor's driver.
