Bug#705959: Intel i210/i217 Ethernet adapters (igb drivers)

[Markus Schade <markus.schade@gmail.com>]

Package: linux
Version: 3.2.41-2
Severity: wishlist

in the current wheezy kernel there is no support for the Intel i210 and 
the Intel i217 NIC, which will ship on many of the upcoming Haswell 
mainboards.

It would be nice, given the pending release of wheezy, to have out of 
the box support for these NIC once Haswell mainboards become available.

Initial support was added mostly upstream kernel 3.5

a number of further patches further refined the initial support.


Best regards,
Markus
