Intel 82571EB driver support

[kekzmobile]

Hello,

i'm having trouble getting a Intel Quad Port NIC working properly on PVE 5.3.18-2.
I read that it should be supported by the kernel for a long time but the NIC is not available in proxmox webinterface under networking although it is detected properly.

root@hvrep:~# lspci | grep net
00:19.0 Ethernet controller: Intel Corporation 82579LM Gigabit Network Connection (rev 05)
04:00.0 Ethernet controller: Intel Corporation 82571EB Gigabit Ethernet Controller (Copper) (rev 06)

05:00.1 Ethernet controller: Intel Corporation 82571EB Gigabit Ethernet Controller (Copper) (rev 06)
07:00.0 Ethernet controller: Intel Corporation 82574L Gigabit Network Connection

I tried installing newest intel drivers e10001-3.8.4 but unfortunately they do not seem to be compatible to the kernel version.
I admit i really don't know anything about compiling drivers ;-)

Also tried:

root@hvrep:~# cd /tmp/e1000e-3.8.4/src
root@hvrep:/tmp/e1000e-3.8.4/src# make
common.mk:85: *** Kernel header files not in any of the expected locations.
common.mk:86: *** Install the appropriate kernel development package, e.g.
common.mk:87: *** kernel-devel, for building kernel modules and try again.  Stop.
root@hvrep:/tmp/e1000e-3.8.4/src# apt-get install pve-headers-`uname -r`

E: Couldn't find any package by glob 'pve-headers-5.3.18-2-pve'
E: Couldn't find any package by regex 'pve-headers-5.3.18-2-pve'

I guess i'm doing something wrong.

Greetings

Ok, i figured out how to install the pve-headers. But make still doesnt work:

root@hvrep:/tmp/e1000e-3.8.4/e1000e-3.8.4/src# make install
