1.4 driver compilation advice or help

Hi,

I need to try to compile the drivers for the Intel 82579v network card
as found at
http://sourceforge.net/projects/e1000/files/e1000e%20stable/1.3.17/e1000
e-1.3.17.tar.gz/download for use on a 1.4.21 IPCop.  Can someone please
help with pointers as to how to go about achieving  this?  Can I compile
for 2.4 kernel on a 2.6 machine?  

Alternatively is there anyone out there with the ability willing to
compile the driver for me and send me the e1000e.o or whichever files
are required to work on 1.4.21?

Many thanks in advance,

Dave
