I have an e1000 and it was detected out of the box ...

If you want to rebuild your kernel, follow this exactly:
https://www.redhat.com/docs/manuals/enterprise/RHEL-3-Manual/sysadmin-guide/s1-custom-kernel-modularized.html

Except, after make mrproper, copy down the config file from
/root/config-kernel_version and do the command:

make oldconfig

Follow on with the instructions...

gigabit ethernet adapter so I tried to include it.

in /usr/src/linux-2.4 I ran
make mrproper
make xconfig and selected the module e1000 for gigabit networking.
make dep
make bzImage
make modules
so far, so good, no errors and
make modules_install which led to:
mkdir -p pcmcia; \
find kernel -path '*/pcmcia/*' -name '*.o' | xargs -i -r ln -sf ../{} 
pcmcia
if [ -r System.map ]; then /sbin/depmod -ae -F System.map  
2.4.21-4.ELciber; fi
depmod: *** Unresolved symbols in 
/lib/modules/2.4.21-4.ELciber/kernel/drivers/net/e1000/e1000.o
depmod:         e1000_clean

what did I do wrong ? or what did I miss ?
