Maybe you could add a comment to
  http://www.scyld.com/expert/100mbps.html#intel
or a link to sourceforge
  http://sourceforge.net/projects/e1000
on where to find the e1000 drivers.

BTW: As Greg already pointed out, the driver is included in the
upcoming release of the 2.4 kernel. rc3 contains v4.4.12-k1
whereas on sourceforge you can find v4.4.12. A quick look at
e1000_main.c showed, that this file from rc3 contains a Changelog
entry for version 4.4.12, which is missing in the sourceforge
tar-ball. I haven't checked any further, but maybe there are some
other differences too.

Regards,

Stefan
