Jesse, Before I got your reply, I had recompiled my kernel a couple of times in the hope of getting wireless to work at least. However, I also removed some other stuff from the kernel that I didn't need, and now e1000e works and I don't see anything unusual in dmesg. Unfortunately, I can't pinpoint which feature's addition/removal caused it to work. I mostly changed features for getting the iwl3945 driver to run. Looking at the kernel config again, the only thing I can think of that I may have removed is CONFIG_X86_REROUTE_FOR_BROKEN_BOOT_IRQS but again, there may have been something else.
Apologies for the confusion, and perhaps I'll try again with the above option and see if it reproduces the problem.
