Because Chelsio pays him better than the makers of the "more mainstream"
products. And, at 10GE, Chelsio and Myricom seem to have stronger
products than others. (Just my opinion and not that of The US Dept. of
Energy, The university of California, or Lawrence Berkeley National
Labs.)

I just hope Kip's legal problems are resolved soon. FreeBSD really needs
him.
