Compile error under ubuntu linux kernel 6.8.0-45-generic

[rokj]

When I try to compile under Ubuntu 24.04.1 LTS with kernel 6.8.0-45-generic I get following error

make[1]: Entering directory '/usr/src/linux-headers-6.8.0-45-generic'
warning: the compiler differs from the one used to build the kernel

I get similar error with driver version 3.8.4.

Yeah hasn't been working for me for a while now, I think e1000e may have been included in the kernel for a while now though? As I believe e1000e.ko exists in my kernel module folder for 6.8.12
