I have been hit on two machines by this upstream bug https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=198047 seems that the link status is broken for the e1000e driver since 4.14.3.
the upstream bug attached a patch that is working for both machines here https://bugzilla.kernel.org/attachment.cgi?id=261183 Since this bug will hit many stable users (a lot of e1000e cards out there) and there is an easy fix -> maybe it is time for a fixed/patched =sys-kernel/gentoo-sources-4.14.7-r1.
Regarding the bug-renaming: I also observed this for a Intel Corporation 7 Series/C210 Series Chipset with Intel 82579V. However, I do not know if the chipset is somehow (driver-wise) related to ICH8.

The attachment specifically changes an ICH8 function so it is most likely related, but may not be limited, to that chip series.
Here is a list of chips in the ich8lan family.. /* 82562G 10/100 Network Connection * 82562G-2 10/100 Network Connection * 82562GT 10/100 Network Connection * 82562GT-2 10/100 Network Connection * 82562V 10/100 Network Connection * 82562V-2 10/100 Network Connection * 82566DC-2 Gigabit Network Connection * 82566DC Gigabit Network Connection * 82566DM-2 Gigabit Network Connection * 82566DM Gigabit Network Connection * 82566MC Gigabit Network Connection * 82566MM Gigabit Network Connection * 82567LM Gigabit Network Connection * 82567LF Gigabit Network Connection * 82567V Gigabit Network Connection * 82567LM-2 Gigabit Network Connection * 82567LF-2 Gigabit Network Connection * 82567V-2 Gigabit Network Connection * 82567LF-3 Gigabit Network Connection * 82567LM-3 Gigabit Network Connection * 82567LM-4 Gigabit Network Connection * 82577LM Gigabit Network Connection * 82577LC Gigabit Network Connection * 82578DM Gigabit Network Connection * 82578DC Gigabit Network Connection * 82579LM Gigabit Network Connection * 82579V Gigabit Network Connection * Ethernet Connection I217-LM * Ethernet Connection I217-V * Ethernet Connection I218-V * Ethernet Connection I218-LM * Ethernet Connection (2) I218-LM * Ethernet Connection (2) I218-V * Ethernet Connection (3) I218-LM * Ethernet Connection (3) I218-V */
removed 4.14.{4,5,6,7,8} affected by the regression please confirm everything works correctly with 4.14.8-r1
sry for the late reply. 4.14.8-r1 worked as expected.
uhh, the upstream bug is still open. Have you any reference, that the bug is resolved upstream?
Same bug was backported to 4.4 and 4.9 and needs the same patch.

A patch landed in 4.14, but Vmware reports it's still an issue, can anyone confirm?
