Just out of curiosity, which e1000 chipset+motherboard are you running this on? 
there have been problems reported with AMT2 on several chipsets (AMT2 is not 
supported under linux, unlike AMT1), and having it enabled in the BIOS produces 
this phenomenon.

I have to dig up which nic was affected, don't know by heart.

Cheers,
