the config had it as CONFIG_E1000=y Does =y or =m make any difference?
still not working.
If you have CONFIG_E1000=y, it will build the e1000 driver into the kernel binary and not as a separate module. If you want the e1000 driver to build as a module, you will need to have CONFIG_E1000=m.

Hi,
As part of learning, I have added few debug statements to the code at drivers/net/e1000/e1000_main.c (e1000_probe function). Now to compile this, am doing make -C /lib/modules/2.6.18-194.el5PAE/build M=`pwd` modules under drivers/net/e1000 dir.
That is not compiling anything. But the same thing when I do in drivers/net/e1000e, it is compiling and creating e1000e.ko file.
Check your kernel config file (which is .config) to make sure that CONFIG_E1000=m
Then you should be able to run ` make drivers/net/e1000` to build the e1000 driver as a module
Any help on how to get e1000.ko?
