I added printk() to see where/if those first packets get dropped in
e1000e code. I followed those first packets to e1000_xmit_frame() and
don't see anything obvious happening there, i.e. they are passed to the
device as expected.

If I find some time tomorrow, I will try and take a look at
e1000_watchdog_task() and other functions that may perform asynchronous
tasks.

Cheers,
