Need a little bit more information here.

How close is this hardware to e1000?

Is this driver really from Intel, as the contact information implies?

Is there documentation on the hardware anywhere?

Not from us, it may be derived from our driver however, but AFAIK we (I)
haven't been contacted about it.

It uses e1000 interfaces as components.

The driver is not from Intel as such but it mostly copies Intel's e1000 code.

Yeah. I don't have the copyright now, though...
