And found in if_igb.c:
{ 0x8086, E1000_DEV_ID_82576, PCI_ANY_ID, PCI_ANY_ID, 0},
{ 0x8086, E1000_DEV_ID_82576_FIBER, PCI_ANY_ID, PCI_ANY_ID, 0},
{ 0x8086, E1000_DEV_ID_82576_SERDES, PCI_ANY_ID, PCI_ANY_ID, 0},
So it might work. And if it doesn't because of some minor problem it might
be fairly straightforward to get it going as Intel has a driver developer
who is plugged into the community.
