Well, the other way around is to upgrade e1000 driver in the 2.4.21EL-smp,

My first idea was to consider this as an opportunity to upgrade to the
latest 2.4.x kernel, but reading you, this looks like a bad idea...
2.6.x would be better ?
First make sure you have the latest RHEL3 errata kernel installed. If
that still doesn't work, you could install the latest e1000 driver
module from Intel.
Later vanilla 2.4 kernels are not necessarily an "upgrade" from Red Hat
kernels based on older 2.4 versions as you lose all the Red Hat patches
like NPTL and the O(1) scheduler.
If you are going to go to a 2.6 kernel you might as well just go to a
newer distribution.
