Hi,

Not sure if its helpful to have another report, but I'm pretty sure I
am seeing the same thing on my Dell Latitude 7440 running 3.14.0-rc7
but with a slightly different card:

$ ethtool -i eth0
driver: e1000e
version: 2.3.2-k
firmware-version: 0.6-3
bus-info: 0000:00:19.0
supports-statistics: yes
supports-test: yes
supports-eeprom-access: yes
supports-register-dump: yes

and from lspci -v:

00:19.0 Ethernet controller: Intel Corporation Ethernet Connection
I218-LM (rev 04)
    Subsystem: Dell Device 05cb
    Flags: bus master, fast devsel, latency 0, IRQ 59
    Memory at f7e00000 (32-bit, non-prefetchable) [size=128K]
    Memory at f7e3c000 (32-bit, non-prefetchable) [size=4K]
    I/O ports at f080 [size=32]
    Capabilities: <access denied>
    Kernel driver in use: e1000e
    Kernel modules: e1000e

I can try testing patches if it helps too.

thanks,
Maks.
