Problems Compiling Driver For Realteck 8101e Onboard NIC On Smoothwall

Tags: Smoothwall, Smoothwall Express, 3.0 Update 3, Intel, Motherboard, D945GCLF, Reaktek 8101e NIC
I am working on building a Smoothwall Express appliance, and I am trying to use the new Intel Atom processor.  I purchased an Intel D945GCLF board with the thoughts that "hey, its an intel board, so it should have an intel NIC on it."  Well, you know how assumeing things goes...  

Anyways, I have the Linux drivers from Intel and from Realtek for this network card, and I am trying to get them compiled for Smoothwall.  I am following the steps outlined in the readme file that came with the drivers.  They do not compile, gives me an error that there is no rule.  It seems the problem is that there is a missing "build" folder that should be located in the /lib/modules directory.  I have looked at other full linux installs, and it is there, but not on the Smoothwall.  I am running the developer version of Smoothwall.

So, if anyone has been able to compile this driver, I would appreciate the help.  I will try to provide any other information you guys may need.
