Try to comment out everything between e1000_irq_disable(adapter) and 
dev->polling = 2; in e1000_poll_on.  I've noticed that on my machine the 
driver doesn't transmit with these lines.  It appears that it fails to 
reinitialize.  This is one the PCI-E 82571EB dual port card.

I've had a quick test where the machine pushed 800KPPs in the interrupt 
mode, but it was just a small configuration.
