I want to use the ethernet adapter on my Intel Tolapai based board. The machine has the EP80579 Integrated Processor (aka Tolapai) on it. I check the latest Linux kernel for support, but it is not supported. Then I checked the Intel website and found a development kit, which has a driver, but the development kit requires the old kernel 2.6.18 whereas I want to use the latest kernel. Unfortunatly I have not found any email address in the sources to make direct contact. That's why I'll ask my questions here. 1) Do anybody know about the development of an (newer) driver? 2) What's the best way to contact the Intel development crew? 3) Can I use any other existing driver (by adding simply the PCI IDs)? 4) Should I adapt the existing driver (from Intel) to the newer kernel and try to get it merged? The code is GPL, so this is no problem. Any experiences? As I stated before, I do lack any direct contact, so I'm not sure what's the best way to proceed?! Maybe anybody can help me in this issue...
