I may have stumbled onto a fix.

Download e1000 driver version 8.0.9 from intel.com.
sudo make CFLAGS_EXTRA=-DE1000_MASTER_SLAVE=1 install
sudo rmmod e1000
sudo modprobe e1000 AutoNeg=0x28

It was the slave=1 part which finally made the difference. This setting "forces it to master mode". I don't know enough about it to understand what this means - I was just flipping all switches until things started to work.
