e1000 driver

I've compiled e1000-6.1.16 driver to replace the old one on a redhat
Entreprise server 4 but the new size of this driver e1000.ko is about
800kb and the old size was 80kb ?
Is it ok or do I need to compile it with parameters ?
Thanks

You'd ease up things if you show us exactly the command you used?
Usually there's a README/INSTALL included which shows how to
compile.

I've just used tar xvfz e1000-6.1.16.tar.gz and in src directory "make
install"

Did you checked the docs coming with it for any hints on
compiling? Does the driver work? The module is 120k on my box
(2.6.12) what was wrong with the module that came with rh?
