I believe that what Don actually said was that we don't currently have plans to do this. There are steps that you can take through your sales channel that could make doing this feature a part of our plan. I'm sure it would take a little time, but that is not the only way to proceed. This is open source! Patches can be accepted. But that doesn't mean that we'll accept just anything that happens to make this feature possible, but I'm pretty sure we would look at any offered patches and offer advice on how to make them acceptable. We would want any such work be done on the upstream kernel driver because we would want the code and interface to be acceptable to the community. The feature would still make it into the out-of-tree driver, if that is important to you, because we try to keep the drivers in sync, but we really would want the work done in the upstream driver so that the community can review it along with us. Of course both courses of action can be taken concurrently as well. Making more people aware of your use case can only help your cause. -- Mark Rustad, Networking Division, Intel Corporation
