Done but now I get (from dmesg):
e1000: version magic '2.6.12-19-386 386 gcc-4.0' should be 
'2.6.12-19-386 386 gcc-3.4'

A manual modprobe or insmod /lib/........
both return:

error inserting e1000 (/lib/.....) Invalid module format.


By default breezy installs gcc-4.0 but has gcc-3.3 (not 3.4) on the CD.

All I did was to create a link (called gcc-3.4) to gcc-4.0 and then ran 
make install.

Was that a deliberate error?

Should I install gcc-3.3 and redo thr make, or do I need 3.4?

Given that I cannot get that PC on to the internet in order to install 
gcc-3.4, can anyone please point me to somewhere I can download the 
correctly compiled e1000 from? as it is easier to download 1 module than 
all of gcc 3.4 and then tf via flash stick.

TIA,
Zoltan
