I read through the IGB driver, and it says 82575/6 only... which is the
new chip Intel is releasing on the cards this month 2 port
and october 4 port, but the chips are on some of the motherboards right now.
Why can't it also use the 82571 ? doesn't make any sense.. I haven't
tried it but just browsing the driver source
doesn't look like it will work.

Also my 82571 NIC supports multiple received queues and multiple

anyone written the driver to support this? It's not a 10gb card and
it still supports it and it's widely
available and not too expensive either. The new 82575/6 chips
support even more queues and the
two port version will be out this month and the 4 port in october
(PCI-E cards). Motherboards are
already shipping with the 82576.. (82571 supports 2x/2x 575/6
support 4x/4x)
Actually, do any of your NICs attach via the igb driver ?
