SliTaz cooking - Somehow missing e1000e module for Intel 82574L Gigabit Network Connection

so I have installed SliTaz cooking with kernel 3.2.53 onto an embedded system with Intel EG20T chipset.

Mojo was kind enough to compile the kernel with needed modules for the CANbus controller (thank you again for this).

I installed this slitaz-base.iso and everything(including ethernet) worked correctly.

I require many packages on top of the base image, so I used the slitaz-base.iso as base on pizza.slitaz.org and added the packages I needed.

I then created a new iso from the .flavor file

After installing the new iso, the ethernet controller is no longer detected and I cannot add the required module.

[c]modprobe e1000e[/c] returns that the module cannot be found.

I know the module is working with this kernel because it worked on the base.iso I build the new iso from so I am confused.

I have downloaded the source for the module from Intel and installed (as far as I know) all required packages to compile it. I have run /usr/bin/get-linux-source using "linux-3.2.53.tar.xz" downloaded from ftp.kernel.org

When I run [c]make install[/c] the makefile returns

"Aborting the build. *** This driver is not supported on kernel versions older than 2.4.0. Stop."

Any ideas where to go next?

Resolved.

Needed e1000e module, not e1000

I downloaded e1000e from Intel support website, built from source, and loaded e1000e module. Eth0 came up no problem after this.
