Has anyone integrated the e1000 driver into the 2.4.x kernel
I am working a project where I need to be able to compile the Intel e1000 driver into a monolithic kernel, but the readme says that you can only use the driver as a module. Is there some technical reason why this driver cannot be compiled into the kernel instead of being used as a module?

Apply both or you will get some rejects...
