Last modified: 2015-01-07 18:45:27 EST
From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 5.5; Windows NT 5.0) I have Intel Pro1000 GigE card in my system, when I try to install the driver for Linux where I downloaded from Intel web site, typing in "make install" will generate message: linux kernel source tree [] I believe that is something to do with the way redhat 7.0 kernel is configured. I don't have that problem in redhat 6.2. Plesase help. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.Download the Intel base Pro1000 base driver from support.intel.com 2.follow the instruction and type "make install" 3.the message "linux kernel source tree []" come up and can't procceed.
Intel's tar.gz package allows you to build a rpm from it using rpm -tb e1000*.tar.gz When I tried that on a RH7 with updates I got the helpful message that I should run make -C /usr/src/linux oldconfig After I did that, there were a lot of warning messages, but the package built fine (and was placed in /usr/src/redhat/RPMS/i386; Install with rpm -Uhv --force). Make sure you have the kernel-source package installed. Also, you may wish to try the e1000 driver already on the system (v. 2.0.7 of the driver).
