Dear Stu,
I apologize for bothering you, but how possible would it be to let the Linux folks get access to the Nitro docs and docs for Intel ethernet cards in general. There seems to be interest from folks in getting this to improve Linux support for Intel products.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Jeff Merkey
