I dont have time for weenie flame wars with people who are more interested
in ignoring problems than fixing them.
The point here seems very simple. The intel NICs are on a large number of
MBs and the eepro100 is the most popular card on the market. So why is
there vitually no maintainer for arguably the most important driver in the
freebsd tree when there are maintainers for scads of obscure, must less
used cards? freebsd touts a "core team" which provides "direction"...does
the "direction" include letting important drivers fall out of maintenance
in favor of some crappy netgear card that chokes at 3,000pps?
Keeping mainstream FreeBSD releases up to date is more important then
working on next years release. Otherwise you just have another linux.

PS: Whatever happened to all of the "support" that BSDI was going to provide?
