Most probably the driver is simply too old. Even the 2.6.22 kernel
currently in Sid only has version 7.3.20-k2 of the e1000 module. You
will likely have to compile version 7.6.5, which is available on Intel's
website:

The first thing that you need is the linux-headers package for your
currently running kernel. Then you can try to follow the instructions
given by Intel (and tell us if things don't work out).
