Intel EEPro 1000 gigabit card

[Brecht Vermeulen]

Hi,

the driver for the EEPro 1000 is not in the linux kernel, but is
separate. In cvs (see webpage how to access it), it is in the
distribution in tools/e1000, but it seems as it has fallen out for the
tarred release.

As a workaround you can check out the code from cvs and take out the
driver.

best regards,
Brecht
