The e1000e bug report against EL6 is in this CentOS bug tracker and
you can find all the details:

http://bugs.centos.org/view.php?id=6810

RH bugzilla is here but it is private:

https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1038754

Here again, I recommend use of ELRepo's kmod-e1000e package. It is
possible that the driver in the upcoming CentOS 6.6 fixes the problem.
