Before flames, I would like to notice that we have only limited amount of
hardware for tests. The current hardware vendors are producing very large
number of configurations, modifications etc. especially for cheap
hardware. It's very difficult to support all variations, so please, be
patient until a developer analyses the given problem and fix it.
If you know the ethernet drivers (eepro100), you might noticed that in
past, there were / are also some issues, because many transciever
variations and configurations exists around. It's not about API, but it's
about particular driver.
Also, we do not have any links with most of hardware vendors, so we very
depend on free information about their hardware.
