Correct, they are different.  I suspect that the one in the etherlab repository 
was from 3.2.0, while I'm trying to use the one from 3.2.31.  The differences 
are fairly minor, though, and even the original etherlab driver does not seem 
to work properly.

I can use the in-kernel e1000e driver along with the "generic" EC driver; this 
works fine as far as low-speed bus scans etc.  I haven't evaluated it for 
high-speed cyclic performance yet, although I would presume that it would be 
lower, or why would there be a custom EC driver to begin with?
