Well, a quick test (they boot, dhcp works, and I can browse the internet) works for all of them on my Lenovo ThinkPad T510, which always worked well with the Multimac Intel driver.

I am assuming that e1000e-3.12.8.zip is the newest version. I left it installed, and I am doing a backup, using RSync to another machine. About 600 MB later, it seems to be okay, although the speed seems to be slow (1200 KB/s) compared to the "official" driver, which seems to go faster (6000 KB/s). That is still slow compared to what the NVIDIA Multimac driver (on the other end) does (20,000 KB/s). A gigabit network should be able to do about 30,000 KB/s. All measurements are done by IPMON. I will leave it installed, for now.
Thanks...
