BTW:
Unless I'm misunderstanding anything, the new driver should support a
superset of what the old driver supported.
Therefore, it would be good if the final merge into Linus' tree will
do an
rm -r drivers/net/e1000
mv drivers/net/e1000new drivers/net/e1000
Based on the most recent discussion, e1000new (or whatever it will be
called) should support only the newer PCI-Express chips, while e1000
will retain support for the older chips.
Over the long term this will allow e1000new to grow without affecting
support for the older, stable chips.
So, e1000 is not going away.
