Hello Jorge, 
did you try to reinstall the e1000e driver on a new kernel you installed?
(The latest driver version is 2.5.4)

According to https://answers.launchpad.net/ubuntu-certification/+question/238609
You might need to rebuild the driver once you upgrade the kernel.

Title:
  e1000e ethernet not working on raring 13.04 (nor in precise 12.04)

Status in “linux” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  After an upgrade in precise, the ethernet connection started failing.

  My desktop is a Dell Inspiron 530s with e1000e 82562V-2 Ethernet
  interface.

  The problem is that it seems to connect and receive the dhcp but the
  ethernet fails all the time.

  3.8.0-19-generic
  3.8.0-21-generic (from https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1152194  -- http://people.canonical.com/~henrix/e1000e-pm-bug/)

  None of them worked.

  Also I tried with the driver from http://sourceforge.net/projects/e1000/files/e1000e%20stable/2.4.14/ and neither it worked.
