These are the steps i followed, incase someone else requires it.

1. Download e1000 latest driver from
http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=42302. As on date, the
latest drivers are dated Dec.14th, 2006.
2. Copy the file to /usr/src/. Extract it out. Go to /usr/src/e1000-x.x/src
3. Run "make install"
4. To ensure any old module has been removed, run "rmmod e1000"
5. Now run "modprobe e1000"
6. Assign an ip to the interface, "ifconfig ethx x.x.x.x"
7. See if you can ping the interface now.

Hope this helps you.
