Are you using the standard e1000e driver from net-next or some other
Intel version.  It works fine on my e1000e doing online or offline
tests.

# ethtool -i eth4
driver: e1000e
version: 1.0.2-k2
firmware-version: 5.11-2
bus-info: 0000:03:00.0

Do you have any other suggestions (script or anything), that makes
the problem happen.
