Thanks Arun, this is very informative although unfortunately not very helpful. Matt Dillon's suggested alternatives to masking do not really work as they all cause spurious interrupts. Do you know if they ever found a good fix, or do they live with the problem?

They never found a good fix. How they live with the problem is explained in this status report under "e1000 driver improvements":
