hmm.  the driver in the latest kernel seems much newer than the EPEL one 
you reference.

# modinfo e1000e
filename: 
/lib/modules/2.6.32-431.11.2.el6.x86_64/kernel/drivers/net/e1000e/e1000e.ko

author:         Intel Corporation, <linux.nics at intel.com>
srcversion:     563EA4FD2E6BC29211E792F


and, um....

# yum list \*e1000\*
Loaded plugins: fastestmirror, security

  * base: mirrors.loosefoot.com

  * extras: mirrors.cat.pdx.edu
