Hi!
I do not know if you have solved this but reading here:
http://www.alexonlinux.com/smp-affinity-and-proper-interrupt-handling-in-lin...
It is written that:
"So if on your system CPU0 handles all interrupts by default, this probably means that APIC configured ambiguously."
So maybe it is nothing wrong with e1000e drivers/cards but with APIC configuration?
