Gigabit Intel NIC? - Intel Gigabit Ethernet Pro/1000T
A message that is not in the archive (sent off-list or not yet received): [email protected]
We're testing the cards to see how much traffic they can handle (on Linux & OpenBSD) So, if we do get the specs (and if without any NDAs) I would be happy to pass them on to the Linux community.
I'm not a kernel developer, just a bug finder when I see things.

We did some brief testing with this card a couple of months ago. The original drivers were pretty flaky but the recent drivers seem fine. I haven't done extremely heavy traffic or testing (no longer have the switch and multiple machines) but I've been compiling and loading the module for a while now with 2.4.x.
FWIW,

How good is the linux kernel driver for the Intel gigabit Ethernet NIC (copper) with the TL82543GC chipset? The card says it's a "PRO/1000T" server adapter, and it looks like the part number A19845-003.
The sales guy who is promoting it says this is apparently a new card and he claims he can get specs from engineering. Not sure about NDA status.
So my question is... is it worth calling this guy's bluff?
