GSoC - Driver development [Urgent, deadline: 6 april] - farko - 2012-04-02 20:30

Hi,

First, I am Fahrudin Paljus from Serbia, now on third year of Computer
Science and Electronic Engineering in State University of Novi Pazar.
I am interested in iPXE GSoC project "Driver development", and i need some
help. I need to know which network card that is not yet supported by iPXE
You need, which network card is most imported to You. Your input will help
me decide.

Thank You.

I have e1000, r8169, forcedeth and via_rhine cards myself. Any improvements to those I would personally be happy about.

I urge others to come with their input also, so we can get a good tally of what people would like improved.

I am interested in the Intel Gigabit drivers, as mentioned in my proposal.

Hi,

Support for Intel 82579LM e1000e would be most useful, Intel Linux drivers are here
