There should be an e1000 driver included with the 2.6.31 kernel that will support your product. Is there a specific feature your require that is currently not present in the 2.6.32 kernel? I ask because we are planning to change to a kernel only maintenance model for e1000 on/around Q2 of 2012. If you have an open issue that is resolved in the sourceforge driver that is not addressed in the in-kernel driver please submit a bug on http://sourceforge.net/projects/e1000/support so that we might address it prior to discontinuing maintenance for the sourceforge driver.
