- 3com has given us a driver to support the ethernet component of this
- chipset. That driver is being ported. We are also supposed to receive
- information for supporting the cryptography functions, which will require

+ 3com gave us a driver to support the ethernet component of this chipset,
+ and based on that, we have written our own ethernet driver. The driver
+ is not yet imported, since we are waiting for a licencing change which we
+ require on the microcode. We have also received (all?) the information
+ needed for supporting the cryptographic functions, which will require a
+ little bit amount of IPSEC subsystem rearranging. Check back later..

- Much like 3COM, Intel has been refusing to get us documentation. We
- have talked to about five technical people who are involved in the
- development of those products. They all wanted us to have documentation.
- They commend us on what we have done. But their hands are tied by
- management who does not perceive a benefit to themselves for providing
- documentation.
+ Much like Intel does for all their networking division components, and
+ completely unlike most other vendors, Intel steadfastly refuse to provide
+ us with documentation. We have talked to about five technical people who
+ are involved in the development of those products. They all want us to
+ have documentation. They commend us on what we have done. But their hands
+ are tied by management who does not perceive a benefit to themselves for
+ providing documentation. Forget about Intel. (If you want to buy gigabit
+ ethernet hardware, we recommend anything else... for the same reason:
+ most drivers we have for Intel networking hardware were written without
+ documentation).
