If you have the time, it would be great if you could try the latest e1000e 
driver (vers 1.2.8) from e1000.sf.net - I am wondering if the changes to the 
driver's link reporting code (one change that went into the kernel for 2.6.29 
and another that went in for 2.6.33) may have broken interoperability with 
dhcpcd.  The sourceforge driver has yet another change that might fix any such 
issue.

Thanks,
Bruce.
