adding a new e1000e kernel module

I'm having trouble with my ethernet hardware  and intel  has a new version of the module that is not in the current kernel source


https://downloadmirror.intel.com/15817/eng/e1000e-3.3.6.tar.gz


The current one keeps reseting

That is a whole version less than the current one on the intel site.

Is there a pacman way of installing the tar.gz tarball? and is there a way of keeping it with kernel upgrades?
