The instructions are in the Readme file in the archive under "Building and 
Installation".  You compile the module indepentantly of the kernel:

Change to the driver src directory:

     cd e1000-x.x.x/src/

Compile the driver module:

     make install

The binary will be installed as:

     /lib/modules/[KERNEL_VERSION]/kernel/drivers/net/e1000.o
