Let me ask a different question. Why do we have some many user reported problems with network drivers, not just the E1000's?
Is it lack of specifications? test infrastructure? Or as I suspect lots of it has to with the myriad of chip revisions, including cases where designs get reworked by OEM's. If the problem were more understood, then the community would have more confidence with new drivers and other changes. - 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
