This package contains a kernel module from Intel, which could only be used together with Intel userspace tools provided under NDA, which also come with the same kernel module. The copy of the kernel module available on SourceForge is only provided to comply with the GPLv2 requirement. Intel engineers were even surprised it even built and were not willing to make any effort to fix their tarball naming to contain a version number. Therefore, it does not make sense for Buildroot to provide such a package. See https://sourceforge.net/p/e1000/bugs/589/ for the discussion.

Buildroot is a simple, efficient and easy-to-use tool to generate embedded Linux systems through cross-compilation. The documentation can be found in docs/manual. You can generate a text document with 'make manual-text' and read output/docs/manual/manual.text. Online documentation can be found at http://buildroot.org/docs.html To build and use the buildroot stuff, do the following: 1) run 'make menuconfig' 2) select the target architecture and the packages you wish to compile 3) run 'make' 4) wait while it compiles 5) find the kernel, bootloader, root filesystem, etc. in output/images You do not need to be root to build or run buildroot. Have fun! Buildroot comes with a basic configuration for a number of boards. Run 'make list-defconfigs' to view the list of provided configurations. Please feed suggestions, bug reports, insults, and bribes back to the buildroot mailing list: buildroot@buildroot.org You can also find us on #buildroot on Freenode IRC.
