Quick reply, I found the default open sourced e1000 installed driver also not working for my e1000 device, subsequently downloaded/obtained the real OEM drivers from third party sites. One of the OEM Dell drivers, downloaded from Dell, had the included better ODI driver versus the Intel OEM only having NDIS driver.
The main reason for the default open source e1000 driver not working, the Dell OEM e1000 hardware chipset model number was not included within the open sourced e1000 driver(s), with DOS support only provided by Intel's NDIS drivers, with Dell OEM driver somehow containing both ODI and NDIS drivers.
