I've been trying to install this. I initially started to make the dkms myself then found that you already have done this. I tried to install this though the command yaourt -s e1000e

It fails

As far as I can tell, the latest module is 3.4.2.4 ??

Fixed this package on kernek 4.16 using Matthew Goff patch. Uploaded a copy of patched on my drive: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1GuKL3su5OtQOPKlZebZc41t1tsL4lsh7/view?usp=sharing

The DKMS module fails to compile with kernel 4.12.8-2, with the

Any ideas how to fix this?

@shoober420 yeah, it is because the type cycle_t is not present in types.h in this current kernel version, in the 4.11 it returns apparently.
The way I managed to make this compile is to download the source, modify the file netdev.c in the src folder and add this line:
typedef u64 cycle_t;
and then compressed the file again, and use the new .tar.gz instead of the downloaded from sourceforge. (of course adding a SKIP in the sha256sums part)
After doing that the module compiles succesfully.
I know nothing about patch files for now so... this was my fix :P

The e1000e module does not install on the new 4.10.1 kernel.
