I read through the IGB driver, and it says 82575/6 only... which is the new

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.
The igb driver has been written to remove a lot of the cruft that has
accumulated to work around deficiencies in earlier 8257x hardware.
Although it supports "legacy" descriptor handling it has a new mode of
descriptor handling that is ostensibly better. I don't have access to
the data sheets for pre-zoar hardware so I'm not sure what it would
take to support multiple queues on that hardware.
May be we should ask Jack Vogel? He will have some news probably.
