The e1000 driver should be in the 8.1 kernel:

$ modinfo e1000
filename:
/lib/modules/4.18.0-147.3.1.el8_1.x86_64/kernel/drivers/net/ethernet/intel/e1000/e1000.ko.xz
version:        7.3.21-k8-NAPI
license:        GPL
description:    Intel(R) PRO/1000 Network Driver
author:         Intel Corporation, <linux.nics@xxxxxxxxx>
rhelversion:    8.1

Thanks for the suggestion. Modinfo does produce that result. But "the network doesn't work". My environment is a VirtualBox VM of Centos 8 on top of Windows 10. I've defined a bridged adaptor. The hardware is the Broadcom adaptor, using DHCP. No firewall is running in Centos 8 yet. This exact configuration works fine with Centos 7.

The symptom I see is that DHCP, Ping, DNS Lookup all work, but no data transfer seems to work. I tried a CURL command to a local web machine (works with Centos 7), and it just hangs. The web server does not see the request.

When I switch the network adaptor (in the VM) to NAT, everything works, probably indicating that the selection of the adaptor is the problem. I used the NAT interface to complete the install. Do you have any ideas?

It appears that this is not a Centos issue. My other VM's have stopped working also. The common factor is the use of a Bridged Network in VirtualBox on Windows 10 updated last week. Based upon prior similar events, I'd guess it's a Windows screw-up. Oh well.
