e1000 and the 3.4 kernels

Is the e1000 module broken in the newer kernels?

When I boot up on 3.2.12 everything works fine, I get internet connection going and everything. When booting the 3.4 kernels (I've tested this with both 3.4.4 and 4.5), net.eth0 screams about eth0 not existing and asks me if I configured my kernel properly. I've been using the e1000 module since the 2.6 kernel when I first gave linux a go on this box and it's definitely there:

Moreover maybe your card is now served by another module ?

modprobe e1000 doesn't do anything, and modinfo e1000 says something about a missing alias. Compile time was also abnormally fast.
