Thanks Beyers. The driver version for e1000 is 5.2.30.
The device id is 0x100e which is present in the
e1000_pci_tbl[] (e1000_main.c). The controller is
82540EM Gbit Ethernet controller, which I checked to
be supported by this version of the e1000 driver
(5.2.30) (e1000_main.c). 

I just want to know what are the files that needs to
be touched in click to get this working? I want it to
do it myself and upload the patch. Any pointers to the
above will be welcome. I am also doing a google search
on the click website.  

Regards, 
IM
