Re: [E1000-devel] Problems compiling e1000 drivers

Thanks for the quick reply Auke. I was a bit concerned that my
message had even be sent to the list because the sourceforge web
interface hasn't shown any messages since 9/27/2006.
I'm using the PWLA8391GT card. I've got the full kernel source, and
not just the headers. I ran `make versioncheck` without luck.
However, copying my .config from /boot and running just `make` in my
source directory created the appropriate files. I was able to compile
the driver afterwards.
I'm having some problems actually inserting the new module though.
After running `make` I removed the old e1000 with `modprobe -n e1000`
which appeared to work according to lsmod. Then, I inserted the new
one with `insmod e1000.ko`. According to modinfo that loaded the same
version of the module that I already had (7.0.33-k2). Is there
something I'm doing wrong here?
`lspci -vv` indicates the following:
