Yes. But as has been pointed out the last time, reference drivers !=
Programming docs. Intel's reference drivers Linux are far from optimal and
are one persons interpretation of how the driver should work. That is NOT
the same as programming doco that tells EXACTLY how the various features
work. So as long as Intel keeps being just plain stupid over programming
doc's I dont think anyone should be buying them.
