The Readme of e1000 (version 6.0.60) says:
This file describes the Linux* Base Driver for the Intel(R) PRO/1000 Family
of Adapters, version 6.0.x. This driver supports the 2.4.x and 2.6.x
kernels.
[...]
This driver is only supported as a loadable module at this time. Intel
is not
supplying patches against the kernel source to allow for static linking of
the driver.
But if you an idea how I could compile it in I would be thankful. But I
do not think this is the problem as insmod works well.
lspci ist not present on my system (should it), but cat /proc/pci says:

The last two entries should be from the card.
The readme of the driver also states possible problems with hotplug. But
stopping network, disable hotplug (echo 0 > /proc/sys/kernel/hotplug)
and insmod'ing it then does not help.
I also created a modules.conf with
alias eth0 e1000
alias eth1 e1000
but without having this pseudo-device created.
To answer Declan Moriarty's question considering ethernet bridging I
have to say that I cannot find the option under menuconfig.
To add: If I insmod e1000 it outputs two lines identifying it as intel
pro/1000 driver and a copyright notice. Should it tell about found nics?
I will look if I can install lspci if that gives more usefull information.
Is there a way to create this pseudo-devices manual?
Thanks in advance!
