Well, I congratulate you for posting private mail to a public list.
Now, if you go back and look at it, I quite clearly said that the
docs are covered under NDA, so of course I can't share any details
with you, unless you're willing to sign an NDA as well. That's
the way they work, after all.
I also said that I did not anticipate any problems releasing the
driver source, _BUT_ that I did have to get permission first. I'm
currently waiting on that from Intel. Given that their own driver
is under a BSD license, I don't think that they will have any
objections.
And no, I haven't written a network driver before, but what's your
point? All I meant was that I can't produce results inside of one
week, like Bill "maniac network driver writer" Paul; not that my
code would be horrible. Not that I'm implying yours is, either!

So, how do you want to proceed? At this point, you have a driver
that you can release, and I don't. We can either just check yours
into CVS, and then replace it with mine later, or just completely
forget about the one that I have.
