Primarily for two reasons: 1) I didn't know that Intel had released Linux
driver source, and 2) I don't have any boards that don't work correctly.
I'll look into the Linux driver, however, and see if it has anything
useful in it. Historically the Linux Pro/100+ driver has totally sucked and
was chalk-full of magic numbers being anded and ored.
