Um, I dont think your going to get intel to change its policy The policy
exists for a reason. Plus, they are already selling lots of boards with the
existing driver, so how many more will they sell? the delta isnt enough for
them to put someone on the case.
What will really get them is some press on how bad their drivers are. Their
eepro100 driver for linux is unusable under load. and from what I've hard
their gigabit driver isnt much better.
Letters dont do anything. its all about image.
