I found the way to run my network card without writing anything to EEPROM.
I removed NVM and MAC address checks from e1000e driver source. The module loads fine. Ethernet adapter have MAC 00:00:00:00:00:00. Than I change MAC to correct one by ifconfig eth0 hw ether. Network works fine. I could even read correct data by ethtool -e. It makes the problem more strange. The correct EEPROM is there but...
