Olaf, any ideas?

It seems as if the card is stuck in NAPI mode without being serviced
by net_rx_action.

Ingo, is this a UP or SMP machine? Are you still getting output from
netconsole, or is the network down completely?

there is some netconsole output but that too gets stuck after the tx
timeout message. The e1000 options are:

CONFIG_E1000=y
CONFIG_E1000_NAPI=y
# CONFIG_E1000_DISABLE_PACKET_SPLIT is not set
