How many 2.5 kernels are packaged in Debian? None currently, because it's 2.5 and generally considered not ready for the world yet. I don't know how easy it is to get the e1000 source, but the driver search page Intel's other pages direct you to for the Linux driver is 100% Windows only. The current version of the e100 driver is GPL, but the version in Debian is under another license and placed in non-free because of patent issues (which have obviously since been resolved..) I had to find the current driver because I needed ethtool support for ifplugd. I realise we're talking about a package with a limited lifespan, but consider that the standard kernel for woody was still 2.2 with the option of 2.4. I think it's safe to suggest that sarge will not be using 2.6 or 3.0 or whatever they wind up calling it as its primary kernel. I think the package has some value to those with the hardware. -- Joseph Carter <knghtbrd@bluecherry.net> Goldfish don't bounce * joeyh cvs commits his home directory.
