USA X-Newsreader: NN version 6.5.3 (NOV) Sender: linux-kernel-owner@vger.kernel.org X-Mailing-List: linux-kernel@vger.kernel.org Dumb question: I've been following the freebsd-hackers list for a while, and in that domain, the Intel NICs are the preferred interfaces because they perform well and are very stable. One approach to the endless eepro100 headaches would be to port the FreeBSD if_fxp driver to Linux. After all, drivers have been ported between these OSs before; e.g., the aic7xxx SCSI adapter. However, I see no evidence that this has been attempted. Can someone tell me what I'm obviously missing?
