installation help:e1000 driver not present

[Brecht Vermeulen]

You have to compile the e1000 driver separately out of the click
distribution. If you can't find it in the drivers/e1000 directory, then
try the CVS version of click where you can find.

You just do a make in the drivers/e1000 directory and insmod the e1000.o
driver.

Brecht
