following procedures were tested for 2.4.x kernels through 2.4.20.
Building and installing the drivers
To build a binary RPM package of this driver, run
rpmbuild -tb <filename.tar.gz>
Replace <filename.tar.gz> with the specific filename of the driver.
The currently running kernel must match the version and configuration of
the installed kernel sources for the build to work properly, Reboot the
system now if you have just recompiled the kernel. The RPM functionality
has only been tested in Red Hat

use /home/username/e1000 or /usr/local/src/e1000.
2. Untar or unzip the archive.
tar zxf e1000-x.x.x.tar.gz
3. Change to the driver src directory.
cd e1000-x.x.x/src/
4. Compile the driver module.
makenstall
The binary is installed as:
/lib/modules/[KERNEL_VERSION]/kernel/drivers/net/e1000.o
The locations listed above are default install locations and might not

ldistrib.txt file included in the driver tar.
5. Install the module.
insmod e1000 <parameter>=<value>

ping <IP_address>
where <IP_address> is the IP address of another system on the same
subnet as the system being tested.
