+         This package contained 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 provided only 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.
