I don't think it must be as-is (i.e. replacing e1000 for all HW) but don't throw away all the work they've done in architecting the driver to cleanly handle multiple chip generations. How about: 1) Considering e1000new's current design, but for ICH9 only 2) test test test 3) Sometime in the future, considering incrementally moving previous PCIe generations' support from e1000 to e1000new (like I initially wanted, since that at least means there would be some technical reason for where the split occurs :-) Regards -- Andy - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe netdev" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
