In Ubuntu (or Kubuntu), there are 2 kernel header packages that you need to install, they are linux-headers-<kernel version> and linux-headers-<kernel version>-generic. After installing both, if you still do not have a autoconf.h file, then you will need to download the entire kernel source. It is also recommended (by Ubuntu) to install the build-essentials package. > > On Wed, Apr 18, 2018 at 1:39 PM, Kirsher, Jeffrey T > <jeffrey.t.kirs...@intel.com> wrote: > > The Intel 1502 device id is the 82579LM Gigabit Network Connection, > which is supported by the e1000e driver.
