Tto answer your previous question, I usually try to attach manually using
add_drv or update_drv

add_drv/update_drv -a -i '"pci8086,15bc"' e1000g

but that should be equivalent to what you did here...

It could be that this particular hardware revision requires a driver update.

There are some configuration parameters, not sure they are relevant...
