Did you check with the "other site" to see if they had submitted their driver changes? Are their drivers still in development, or test? Are they copyright such that they cannot be included? I'd say you should take this up with the writers of the drive you are using, if you're pleased with it. Please acquire network cards with 21140, 21141, 21040, and 21041 chips and make sure the driver doesn't break backwards compatibility (with my 21041-AA card, for instance) before submitting it. ;^) -- "Where am I, and what am I doing in this handbasket?"
