Jan's patch fixed my problem with rtifconfig using 0.9.11, which now works fine with the e1000 driver.
I thought I'd try using the experimental e1000 driver, and found that is only sees the first of the two quad ethernet e1000 cards in my system. dmesg output is below, corresponding to inserting the rtnet modules, followed by the old e1000 module, then removing that module and inserting the e1000_new module, then removing e1000_new and re-inserting the e1000. e1000 sees all 8 devices both times, but e1000_new only sees the first 4 devices. lspci output below dmesg output. Hope this is useful information.
