Primarily for two reasons: 1) I didn't know that Intel had released Linux driver source, and 2) I don't have any boards that don't work correctly.

Historically the Linux Pro/100+ driver has totally sucked and was chalk-full of magic numbers being anded and ored. -DG David Greenman Co-founder, The FreeBSD Project - http://www.freebsd.org President, TeraSolutions, Inc. - http://www.terasolutions.com Pave the road of life with opportunities.
