Is your `latest git` from Linus or net-next tree? All of our latest patches go 
into net-next, so if you haven't already - give it a try and see if it resolves 
your issue.

I have a system with the same device ID (it is not the same board) and could 
not reproduce any issues with DHCP on 2.6.35.6 kernel. 

Aside from checking the latest net-next tree, there are some other things to 
look into:

1. Is AMT enabled - there is usually a manageability tab/option in the BIOS. If 
you have that option try enabling/disabling it and see if it makes a difference.

2. Make sure your BIOS is up to date.

If any of the above does not help your situation please file a bug at 
e1000.sf.net and include the following information:

1. lspci -vvv
2. ethtool -e eth0
3. there is a tool call ethregs which you can download from this site. If you 
can include the output of ethregs -s 00:19.0 
4. kernel config
5. anything that you think may be related - like setup, type of traffic etc.

Thanks,
Emil
