Hello all.

>>> it but insmod says:
>>>
>>> /lib/modules/2.4.21-47.0.1.ELsmp/kernel/drivers/net/e1000/e1000.o:
>>> unresolved symbol pci_set_consistent_dma_mask
>>>

pci_set_consistent_dma_mask is non present on SL3 (RHEL3) kernels,
(see for example code in there:
/usr/src/redhat/BUILD/kernel-2.4.21/linux-2.4.21/drivers/net/b44.c)

You'll need to do the same (in your e1000 sources) as RH did for tg3
backported driver (define to be void function):

/usr/src/redhat/BUILD/kernel-2.4.21/linux-2.4.21/drivers/net/tg3_compat.h:
...
#define pci_set_consistent_dma_mask(pdev,mask)  (0)
...

(NO , it should not break anything, since the feature is not
present anyway ...)

Cheers

Jarek
