Um, I dont think your going to get intel to change its policy The policy exists for a reason. Plus, they are already selling lots of boards with the existing driver, so how many more will they sell? the delta isnt enough for them to put someone on the case. What will really get them is some press on how bad their drivers are. Their eepro100 driver for linux is unusable under load. and from what I've hard their gigabit driver isnt much better. Letters dont do anything. its all about image.
