Hello guys,
I have been facing some problems with a NIC on my CentOS 5.6 box, and my next attempt is to use the newest version of the driver. It's a Intel e1000e, I have already downloaded the latest version (1.9.5), and now I need to compile it. When I first tried to compile it, I got: Makefile:71: *** Kernel header files not it any of the expected locations. Makefile:72: *** Install the appropriate kernel development package, e.g. Makefile:73: *** kernel-devel, for building kernel modules and try again. Stop. Then I just did what he asked: yum install kernel-devel And, as I got the same result, I tried: yum install kernel-headers Both commands finished nicely. It asked me to confirm, then it downloaded the files and installed the package properly. I don't need to recompile the whole kernel, I just need to be able to compile the driver in order to make my network card work. Could you help me out with this kernel compiling issue? Thanks, Marcelo |

Yes. Don't do that. Google ELRepo instead then use their repository to install kmod-e1000e.
