The full title is:
Intel 8255x 10/100 Mbps Ethernet Controller Family
Open Source Software Developer Manual
Revision 1.0
The manual is intended to support the maintenance of the e100 driver (or the
best driver for the PRO/100 networking hardware ;-). The manual covers the
82557, 82558, 82559, 82550, and 82551 Ethernet controllers.
I would like to thank Jeff Garzik for encouraging this publication, and for
having the patience to deal with the Intel machine.
I'm surprised that this David (me) actually got through to the Goliath :)
Let me publicly thank Intel NIC team [and related persons] for some
great work. You guys have really been responsive both to technical
issues and also political/community-related issues like this one of
opening docs.
This is a situation where I really think that opening docs will lead to
a better overall user experience with Intel hardware on Linux, and
hopefully serves as a model for other vendors to follow.
Thanks and kudos, Intel!
Jeff
