Oh, thanks for the fix. I think I used e1000 so it would match a kernel
file when I entered the bug report. You are right that e1000e is what
the kernel reports on the error lines:
[ 1351.850362] NETDEV WATCHDOG: eth0 (e1000e): transmit queue 0 timed
out
^^^^^^

Current settings:
$ ethtool -a eth0
Pause parameters for eth0:
Autonegotiate: on
RX: on
TX: on
I then ran:
$ ethtool -A eth0 rx off tx off
$ ethtool -a eth0
Pause parameters for eth0:
Autonegotiate: on
RX: on
TX: on
It seems nothing changed.

Wow, that seems more risky than just buying a dual-port PCI-E ethernet
card and using that. FYI, this server is from 2012 so I am worried such
an upgrade would break things more than fix them.
If there is no known fix I think that will be my next try, in a long
list of many attempts to fix this.
