Sorry, that was a typo in my comment but not in my actual experiments. 
I used "e1000e", not "e100e".  CONFIG_E1000E is enabled, and "lsmod" 
confirmed that the e1000e module was definitely loaded into the kernel. 
  "The kernel", for the record, is the current Fedora 8 kernel, 
2.6.24.5-85.fc8.

I realize that pristine, self-built kernels are preferred for bug 
reporting.  I am currently building my own 2.6.25.3 so that I can affirm 
or refute Jesse Brandeburg's claim (comment #12) that this bug is fixed 
in 2.6.25-rc1 and later.  I'll report my findings when available, 
assuming I still remember how to install my own kernels.  (Yes, yes, 
I've gotten soft and lazy.)
