What's the prognosis for the 7.5.5-series e1000 reorg going into
netdev-2.6?
As I have posted previously, I am not keen on merging basically an e1000
rewrite. That basically throws away all Internet-wide testing so far.
The rewrite was not done according to Linux kernel standards (read:
progression of changes), so any problems will bisect into The Big
Commit(tm) and go no further. A rewrite also means the complete driver
has to be reviewed from scratch, since such a large patch is basically
impossible to review. Finally, the rewrite doesn't do much to clean up
the e1000 driver.
I warned Intel for months not to do things this way, but I guess my
opinion counts for little :)
