they already have, actually.  gigabit ethernet borrows a lot from fibre channel
it seems, which i think can only improve ethernet.  if you are thinking about
gigabit ethernet, here is my experience:

alteon NICs are bad, foundry networks and extreme networks switches are very
good.  i have yet to test any bay networks gigabit ethernet stuff but i was
unimpressed by their accelar product at 100Mb.  cisco, of course, isn't even
in the race yet.
