I'm admittedly not familiar with Intels marketing nomenclature. But
if by "1000 F", you mean the 82543/Livingood chip, then yes, this
driver should work on that board. In fact, the driver was designed
around the 82543, and then backported to 82542 (wiseman).
It won't work with the 1000 T (twisted pair) just yet, since I haven't
written the PHY support for that card. (I only have the fiber versions
of the card here). But it should work with all the fiber mode cards.

Hmm. Send me details, the more information, the better.
