# Intel e1000e ethernet adapter driver (DKMS version) for Debian
__Intel® Network Adapter Driver for PCIe* Intel® Gigabit Ethernet Network Connections Under Linux*__
This is a Debian DKMS package version of the latest code of Intels e1000e ethernet driver available from https://sourceforge.net/projects/e1000/
---
## Prerequisites
**Dependency:** dkms
You should have installed: linux-headers dkms build-essential
```
apt install linux-headers-$(uname -r) dkms build-essential
```
---
## Install and build the deb package
To install the deb package run:
```
dpkg -i e1000e-dkms__all.deb
```
To remove the driver run:
```
apt purge e1000e-dkms
```
To build a deb package from source run:
```
dpkg-deb --build e1000e-dkms
```
---
## Install and build the DKMS kernel module only
If you want to use the DKMS kernel module only (works with all Linux distributions) run:
```
cp -r e1000e-dkms/usr/src/e1000e- /usr/src/
dkms add -m e1000e -v
dkms build -m e1000e -v
dkms install -m e1000e -v
```
To remove the DKMS kernel module only (works with all Linux distributions) run:
```
dkms remove -m e1000e -v --all
```
