Polling on Intel PRO1000 MT

[Brecht Vermeulen]

I had a click look at the Intel website and they apparently have all the
same e1000 driver (which is now version 4.3.15 or 4.4.19 on the website).

HOWEVER, the version on which the click driver is based is 2.5.11, so it
is *very* possible that the 2.5.11 driver doesn't support the new cards.
(if you compare the source codes you can maybe see more).

I saw also that in the click e1000 driver, the following information can
be found as vendor IDs:
e1000_vendor_info_t e1000_vendor_info_array[] = {
    {0x1000, 0x8086, 0x1000, "Intel(R) PRO/1000 Gigabit Server Adapter"},
    {0x1001, 0x8086, 0x1003, "Intel(R) PRO/1000 F Server Adapter"},
    {0x1004, 0x8086, 0x1004, "Intel(R) PRO/1000 T Server Adapter"},
    {0x1000, 0x1014, 0x0119, "IBM Netfinity Gigabit Ethernet SX Adapter"},
    {0x1001, 0x1014, 0x01EA, "IBM Gigabit Ethernet SX Server Adapter"},
    {0x1004, 0x1014, 0x10F2, "IBM Gigabit Ethernet Server Adapter"},
    {0x1000, CATCHALL, CATCHALL, "Intel 82542-based Gigabit Server
Adapter"},
    {0x1001, CATCHALL, CATCHALL, "Intel 82543GC-based F Gigabit Adapter"},
    {0x1004, CATCHALL, CATCHALL, "Intel 82543GC-based T Gigabit Adapter"},
    {0x0, 0x0, 0x0, ""}                      /* This has to be the last
entry */};

If you have the ethernet cards, just try it, otherwise I would go into
more detail (and e.g. compare the source code of the drivers).

We have used *only* Intel EtherPro 1000/F adapters.

See also http://www.pdos.lcs.mit.edu/~rtm/e1000/ for some information.
