Merge e1000 gigabit driver (yay)
PATCH 1/1 Merge e1000 gigabit driver (yay)
Linus,
I'm pleased to submit to you a BK merge of Intel's e1000 driver. The license is now "GPL or (BSD + patent grant)", which should satisfy those concerns.
I would also like to publicly thank Intel for this work. The two contributors listed have been very responsive to feedback, and they have put a good deal of work into beating the driver into shape for a kernel merge.
Now I just hope I can convince them to open up their hardware specs :)
Kind regards,
Jeff

This is almost as important. Currently this greatly reduces the value of their hardware as it places stumbling blocks in road of distributed debugging. And the fewer eyes the deeper the bugs. For that reason the company I work for has been looking for alternatives to Intel's network cards.
