I would say try the newest driver. Remember to do "ethtool -i <ethX>" to make sure the new driver is actually being used.
If you still have problems we'll need a lot more information including logs (dmesg and, if it exists, /var/log/messages and don't edit them) ethtool -i, ethtool -s, lspci -vvv (as root), etc. The easiest way to get this to us is to file a bug on e1000.sourceforge.net.
