To followup, I csup'd to this date:
date=2009.04.08.00.00.00
and the resulting kernel works perfectly with the ESX virtual e1000.
What can I do to help debug this problem?

Jack, either this or some other recent change to the em driver caused it to
stop working correctly on the e1000 virtual device inside VMware ESX.
Unfortunately, I have not updated my 8.x VMs recently, so I don't know when
this broke.
I got the message about an invalid MAC address. I modified
em_is_valid_ether_addr to always return True, but it looks like the effect of
that was to cause the driver to load, but give the NIC a MAC of
00:00:00:00:00:00. However, if I manually set a MAC after that, the virtual
NIC IS functional. So I think the sole problem may just be that the code
which reads the MAC is incompatible with the ESX emulation.
Do you want me to try a kernel from immediately before this change to confirm
that this was the cause of the problem?
