you don't want the src rpm, you'd probably be better off with the binaries.

If you do wish to use the src rpm, you don't run make install, you run rpmbuild or rpm --rebuild, depending on the distribution

I believe the arguments passed would be -ba.

That would create the rpm you would use

However, the e1000 is a very well supported card and should not need drivers.

Run this command:

Code:

lspci -vv | grep -i net

That will tell you what device you need to install the drivers for
