Hi,
as I'm faced with regular problems with the e1000-driver for my 82541PI Gigabit Ethernet Controller, I need to use a recent driver from the e1000 dev team, to be able to pass some extra parameters to the module when it loads.
I'm using 2.6.32-1-pve kernel. The included e1000 module is
I need a e1000 driver version more recent than 8.0.16.
(http://www.mail-archive.com/e1000-devel@lists.sourceforge.net/msg01930.html)
Problem is the latest module doesn't compile against the kernel-headers. I would have installed kernel sources, but these are not available as deb... (I found ftp://pve.proxmox.com/sources/, but installing the source involves manual patching en configuring sources, which I 'd like to avoid - It's somewhat above my skill-level).
So, any thoughts on how to be able to install a recent e1000 driver?
Thanks a lot,
Lieven
