Unable to make the e1000.ko module for my Intel 82562V-2 10/100 NIC. The kernel source not found.

Hello,

I installed from the first CD disk. I didn't download the other CD's nor did I download any DVD's.

My NIC doesn't work because I need the very latest e1000 driver. I have the driver. The problem I'm having is that I can't make it because it seems I don't have the appropriate kernel development package:

# make install
Makefile:73: *** Linux kernel source not found in any of these locations:
Makefile:74:
Makefile:75: *** Install the appropriate kernel development package, e.g.
Makefile:76: *** kernel-devel, for building kernel modules and try again. Stop.

What do you suggest as the best solution? The PC has no network connection.

Thank you for your time and help.

The driver has to match the kernel; there have been many changes in the kernel's driver system in the past 2 years. Are you sure you have the right kernel and driver code?

Have a look here for instructions on what packages to install:

Hi,

My driver code wasn't correct.

Thank you for your help!
