Jack,

If you really believe your NIC should be supported by the e1000, check out
the
/lib/modules/`uname -r`/modules.pcimap file.  The device id you displayed:

>   Bus  1, device   1, function  0:
>     Ethernet controller: PCI device 8086:1075 (Intel Corp.) (rev 0).
>       IRQ 18.
>       Master Capable.  No bursts.  Min Gnt=255.
>       Non-prefetchable 32 bit memory at 0xfe1e0000 [0xfe1fffff].
>       I/O at 0xece0 [0xecff].

is not represented there.  Copy an e1000 line and fix the third column to
0x00001075, then try to load the e1000 modules again.   This will tell you
if the module actually works.  The file is often re-created tho, losing
your edits, so long-term you should change this in the kernel.
