Arch Linux User Repository

1. Install "common.mk" to src directory. It's a necessary file to build module.

2. Remove "MAKE[0]" line in /usr/src/e1000e-xxx/dkms.conf or dkms.conf.in before package install, dkms will generate make command line properly and install the module.

Still doesn't work for me, same issue as the people below:

DKMS make.log for e1000e-3.8.4 for kernel 5.6.7-arch1-1 (x86_64)
Wed 29 Apr 22:41:19 CEST 2020
make: *** No targets.  Stop.

Update: I've just deleted it. All work properly :>

I can't build it:

# dkms install e1000e/3.6.0 -k 5.6.5-1-MANJARO
Error! Bad return status for module build on kernel: 5.6.5-1-MANJARO (x86_64)
Consult /var/lib/dkms/e1000e/3.6.0/build/make.log for more information.

Cloning and makepkg almostly returns the same. Once there was:

# makepkg -si
cal: failed to parse timestamp or unknown month name: /var/lib/dkms/e1000e/3.6.0/build/make.log

But I can't repeat this log :( (maybe it was just russian mongth name)

same issue..

doesn't work

I use the DKMS version for an Intel I218-LM NIC because i get a lot of disconnects with TOE enabled under heavy loads since Kernel > 4.19.

If you want to build the module with any Kernel >= 5.4 you have to edit "kcompat.h" and replace "#include <linux/pci-aspm.h>" with "#include <linux/pci.h>" on line 2799 because pci-aspm.h is now merged with pci.h [1]

doesn't build at all

Update: I patched dkms conf to fix build:
