I've bought four new e1000 cards (PCI id 8086:107c, chip label 82541PI), three of them are working without problems (i386, kernel 2.4.x).
One of them is installed in an AMD64 SMP system (Athlon dual core 4GB). It gets detected, link is reported to be up, but no data goes through (in fact _sometimes_ it succeeds to get an IP adress via DHCP after 10-20 retries). If I set an IP manually, I am not able to ping any other host (ping sizes 30bytes ... 1000bytes). Tested on kernel 2.6.15, 2.6.16-rc2 and 2.6.16-rc2-git2. (Un-)setting NAPI does not change anything. Initially I assumed an IRQ-related issue, but the 3ware RAID controller works without any problems.
