If it takes this much code to support ICH8, it seems like a e1000-ich8.c
would be warranted...
that's work in progress - Jeb Cramer has been working on this for a while now
but unfortunately it's not ready, and getting ich8 supported in a way that we
know that doesn't introduce new bugs is more important. This patch adds tested
and validated support for these chipsets that has been hammered by our test team.
We are planning (working) on cleaning it all up (including whitespace!) - but
getting the ich8 support out is more important - people can buy the hardware
today.
Cheers,
Auke
