Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Sender: linux-kernel-owner@vger.kernel.org X-Mailing-List: linux-kernel@vger.kernel.org The e100 license appears to be compatible, and it has some nice features, like interrupt-cooelescing that I don't think are supported in the eepro100.. I keep thinking that if everyone could get behind a single driver, especially one with corporate support, we may have a more stable result...
