cannot install Intel 82577 driver: problem with Makefile, Module.symvers or both
 
not entirely sure if this is a hardware or a kernel/distro issue but here goes:

when trying to install the driver for an Intel e100 (82557) NIC (on an IBM Thinkpad A20m) I get the following from both <make> and <make install>....

make -C /lib/modules/2.6.30.9/build SUBDIRS=/root/e100-3.5.17/src modules
make[1]: Entering directory /usr/src/linux-source-2.6.30.9

WARNING: Symbol version dump /usr/src/linux-source-2.6.30.9/Module.symvers is missing: modules will have no dependencies and modversions.

scripts/Makefile.build:49 *** CFLAGS was changed in "/root/e100-3.5.17/src/Makefile". Fix it to use EXTRA CFLAGS. Stop.
make[1]: *** [_module_/root/e100-3.5.17/src] Error 2
make [1]: Leaving directory '/usr/src/linux-source-2.6.30.9'
make: *** [default] Error 2


The NIC shows up as: (lspci)
00:03.0 Ethernet controller: Intel Corporation 82557/8/9/0/1 Ethernet Pro 100 (rev 09)

The NIC LEDs light up when you plug a hot network cable into it, so it should be working

There definitely isn't any network driver loaded because 1:(FATAL: Module e100.c not found), 2: there is no eth0, and 3: </etc/init.d/networking start> results in a splatterjack of error messages

Cannot load the module directly (not surprising, didn't expect it to work) (insmod: error inserting 'e100.c': -l Invalid module format), same for ethtool.c

Tried to modify the Makefile (KSP :=) to point it directly to the kernel source with no luck. (kernel source is at /usr/src/linux-source-2.6.30.9/ live kernel is /usr/src/linux)

There are no other NICs on this laptop

At this point, I'm out of ideas and have no idea where to get or how to make the 'Module.symvers' file or if it even matters since the script continues. However it does halt on the CFLAGS message. I have no idea where to modify CFLAGS in Makefile.

Makefile (unmodified, provided by Intel with the driver):

Upgrade the kernel to at least 2.6.31. The kernel version 2.6.31 has support for Intel 82577 gigabit NIC.
