I was just checking Intel's web site, and they seem to have phased out the 100B in favor of a 100S, which incorporates harware-based encryption, and a "new-and-improved" version of the chip, dubbed the "82550". Are our drivers still compatible with the new card? Also, can our drivers take advantage of the encryption? Thanks! -- Paul A.
