At this point this is very, very unlikely. Is there any reason you need the 
out-of-tree driver?

Subject: [E1000-devel] Introduce "ethtool -m" support?

Hi folks,

Has it been discussed, or is there any intention, to introduce the "ethtool -m" 
capability that is available in the in-tree version of igb, to this driver?
(this feature provides "module" eeprom information, namely SFP info).

I found this provision to be extremely useful, and was somewhat surprised it is 
only available in the in-kernel-tree driver (the dash-k).

The change seems to basically boil down to fitting a couple routines 
(igb_get_module_info and igb_get_module_eeprom) into ethtool.c

Has this been rejected for some reason?

Thanks for any info,
Doron
