^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
you mean the "ed" driver ? :)
Seriously, the 21x4x cards are nice and cheap (considering their
performance), but I suspect there are far more NE2000 clones around
(both PCI and ISA) than the total of other network cards.
What you say (delay the release of 2.2 until we had a stable "de"
driver) would have only been possible if there were someone paid for
fixing the driver with some reasonable deadline. Nothing like that in
our project.
Cheers
Luigi
