Roy, Ben,
with latest e1000.c my 82541ER connected to a MPC5200 via PCI is no longer working correctly - I get timeouts after few packets. After having a quick look at the code changes it's obvious that I can't figure out the problem quickly since there has been a lot of changes.

Using drivers/net/e1000.c from v2009.6 gives me back a working NIC, i.e. the problem is likely to be there.
Have you tried some PCI cards after the PCIe changes ?
I have tried 82545EM_COPPER, 82541GI_LF PCI card on 8544DS and 8536DS board.
Any ideas ?
Try to increase tx_pool and rx_pool to see whether there is improment. static char tx_pool[128 + 16]; static char rx_pool[128 + 16];
Change 128 to 256 or 512 to see. How about ping command?
