I was reading the below thread.  Do you know where I can get a copy of the 
Gigabit driver to play with?

Um, no offense, but why didn't you coordinate with me earlier
about this?  I did tell you that I was working on the Intel GigE
driver, and that I _DO_ have the documentation, but never heard
back from you.  I currently get roughly 300Mb/sec with my driver,
and that's with the untuned version.

I'm still waiting on Intel to get back to me about releasing the
driver, but I don't really anticipate any problems, since the
version that they have released is also under the BSD license.

Note that the chip I'm working with is the next revision of this
card, so it's entirely probable that your driver will not work
with the newer Intel cards.
