I build from CVS. In unattended/linuxboot I updated the Makefile to use linux=linux-2.6.24.3. When I ran make iso, it runs the make oldconfig for the kernel, and I believe it asked there if I would like to enable the E1000E driver (the trailing E is important - that indicates it's a PCI-e card and not PCI). Alternatively, you could add the line CONFIG_E1000E=m to unattended/linuxboot/misc/linux-config (right below CONFIG_E1000 is a good spot) and run make iso/tftpboot. You don't need the e1000 driver at all. I meant to say "No need to compile a separate driver" in my last message.
