Thank you Unman. Given that I could not download the required packages on the 
Qubes pc, I downloaded them to an identical pc running Fedora 24. Having 
compiled the Intel drivers, I now have a 3.3.5.3 version of the e1000e.ko.

However, how do I install it into the fedora23 template in Qubes? The 
/lib/modules/... is readonly and I was unable to mount it as rw to copy the 
file over. Apologies in advance as this is a newbie question. I have the file 
in the QubesIncoming directory in the fedora23 template.

Many thanks!
