Hummm.... I hate it when I rely on the "help" and don't look in the
code....

Looking in the code for the e1000 module we find....

e1000_main.c: *   o Feature: Added support for 82541 and 82547 hardware.

and specific mention of 

e1000_hw.c:    case E1000_DEV_ID_82547EI:

So, it is not clear why you're system isn't detecting it....

Have you tried "modprobe e1000"?
