 Hello, I am Sayli Karnik.
 I have followed the tutorial at https://kernelnewbies.org/Outreachyfirstpatch 

 to insert a printk statement in 
drivers/net/ethernet/intel/e1000/e1000_main.c
I then ran 'make drivers/net/ethernet/intel/e1000/ ' to compile 
AND
sudo make install drivers/net/ethernet/intel/e1000/  to install the module.
But on rebooting, dmesg doesn't not contain the message.
I also tried :
make
rmmod e1000.ko
insmod e1000.ko
but no luck.
Is there somewhere that I might be going wrong?

Perhaps your machine has some other ethernet device and doesn't use this
driver.

Actually, this mailing list is monitored only during the application
period, which starts in September.
