My ethernet controller is an Intel Corporation 82579V Gigabit Network Connection. I'd like to use it with SliTaz 3.0. I need module e1000e. I've downladed the source file on the Intel site and tried to compile it but make returns the following message:
root@slitaz:/lib/firmware/e1000e-2.0.0/src# make install
makefile:71: *** Kernel header files not in any of the expected locations.
makefile:72: *** Install the appropriate kernel developement package, e. G.
makefile:73: *** kerrnel-devel, for building kernel modules and try again. Arrêt.

I've downloaded slitaz-toolchain and linux-source packages but same message. Here is an extract of the makefile file

I understand make don't find files. Do I have to download another package?

Did you install slitaz-toolchain and linux-source from the 3.0 repo?
Make script can't find linux-source which when installed would be found.
Linux-source has to be installed while connected to the internet,it is a script that downloads,extracts,and patch's linux-2.6.30.6.tar.bz2 which is 60MB.
Linux-source for 3.0 should be installed here=> /usr/src/linux-2.6.30.6-slitaz
tux@slitaz:~$ ls -la /usr/src/linux
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 21 Mar 18 2011 /usr/src/linux -> linux-2.6.30.6-slitaz/

Your're right mojo. I've downloaded slitaz-toolchain + linux-source and their dependencies from 3.0 repo with windows explorer and then installed them. I didn't pay attention during installation and didn't see the error messages.
I tried from a liveCD on my old MSNet but I run out of memory (only 512 Mb) when unpacking linux-2.6.30.6.tar.bz2. I'll try with SliTaz-base flavor or find an other way this week end when I'll have more time.
Thank you.

That's OK. I can compile now; I finally managed to install linux-source without internet connection. I close this topic since I have the answer to my question.
But I still have no internet connection... SliTaz 3.0 doesn't see my ethernet controller (and of course mojo you were right again : e1000e driver is built into the kernel, I'd have saw it if I had a look in the log files. I'm a stupid boy)

Your instincts were correct about compiling the e1000e driver.
The e1000e in Slitaz 3.0 (2.6.30.6 kernel) is too old to work with Intel 82579V gigabit ethernet
