Hi guys. I heard that the standard e1000e driver from the 2.6.18 kernel has some problems. So i downloaded the newest and the 2nd-newest driver from Intel.com and installed the header-files for Thorstens Kernel.

Both intel-versions fail during compilation like this:

server02:/usr/src/e1000e-1.1.2.1a/src# make install
make -C /usr/src/linux SUBDIRS=/usr/src/e1000e-1.1.2.1a/src modules
make[1]: Entering directory `/usr/src/linux-headers-2.6.18-20-ovz-amd64'

  WARNING: Symbol version dump /usr/src/linux-headers-2.6.18-20-ovz-amd64/Module.symvers
           is missing; modules will have no dependencies and modversions.

I have the feeling that there's some problem with the kcompat.h
I wanted to compile the 2.6.18 myself and it stopped due to the exact same file. That's why I used the kernel
by Thorsten Schifferdecker <tsd@debian.systs.org> http://download.openvz.org/debian-systs

Any idea how to fix that?

Thank you!

Hello,

as you may notice the compiler complains about redefinition of irq_handler_t. This type has already been defined in include/linux/interrupt.h but the driver contains redundant definition in /usr/src/e1000e-1.1.2.1a/src/kcompat.h. So you have properly avoid such a coincidence.
Look carefully why kcompat.h contains such a definition. It might be "#ifdef" constructions or something else.
