DESCRIPTION:  This Reliable Package Manager (RPM) package contains the 
              Compaq Tested and Approved e1000 Linux NIC driver.

ENHANCEMENTS/FIXES:  Initial release.

HOW TO USE:

1.  Download the e1000-3.0.7-1.src.rpm RPM.  

2.  Issue the following command to install the source:

	rpm -ivh e1000-3.0.7-1.src.rpm

    A tar gzipped file containing the source is installed in the
    /usr/src/.../SOURCES (/usr/src/redhat/SOURCES, /usr/src/packages/SOURCES,
    etc.) directory. 

3.  Enter the SOURCES directory and issue the following command to extract
    the source:

	tar -xzf e1000-3.0.7.tar.gz

    A directory named e1000-3.0.7 is created, cd into the e1000-3.0.7 directory
    and follow the instructions in the README file to build, load, and 
    configure the driver.

4.  You may delete the e1000-3.0.7-1.src.rpm RPM file.

5.  If running SuSE Linux, follow the instructions outlined below (full 
    document at ftp://ftp.suse.com/pub/people/kgw/7.0/e100-v1.3.20/README.first)

        :
        If you want to rebuild the module for yourself, make sure that
        /usr/src/linux is a copy of (or a symbolic link to) the kernel source
        tree contained in the SuSE 7.0 package lx_suse. Furthermore, the 
        following files must correspond to your running kernel:
 
           /usr/src/linux/.config
           /usr/src/linux/include/linux/autoconf.h
           /usr/src/linux/include/linux/version.h

        Note: the SuSE pre-compiled kernel packages k_deflt and k_smp 
              contain copies of these files at the following locations:
 
           /boot/vmlinuz.config
           /boot/vmlinuz.autoconf.h
           /boot/vmlinuz.version.h

 
        After you've thus prepared the kernel sources, follow the instructions
        from the README contained in the source archive.
