I have the same problem. The driver seems to work - tries to get connected - but then does not finish. Error messages are not really helpful. I tried a lot so far. I made a backup of the old e1000e.ko and tried the knew driver mentioned in answer 22 here above. But to no avail. Compiling was good though. Loading of the module was ok too. But no change finally.
And I am not really willing to switch off acpi cause then my os is slow like a snail. I just hope there will be a working e1000e driver available soon.
