I am sponsoring this case for Ted You. This case is to provide
a new NIC driver, igb(7D), for Intel 82575 1Gb PCI express adpater.
The requested release binding is micro/patch.
Because the architecture and interface are clear and straight forwarding,
I am marking it as "closed approved automatic".

4. Technical Description
This case adds support for Intel 82575 1Gb PCI Express Adapter Driver
into ON.
The architecture of the Intel 82575 1Gb PCI Express Adapter differs
significantly from the old Intel PRO/1000 adapters, which are supported
by the e1000g driver. So a new driver igb(7D) is required.
Intel has software license agreement with Sun to allow Sun integrate
this driver and distribute the software in both source, and binary
object code forms. This SLA also grants Sun the right to make
modification to the source code and distribute the modified driver
in open source and binary forms.
The driver supports x86/x64 and SPARC platform.
The vendor ID and device ID of the chips supported are:
pci8086,10A7
pci8086,10A9
pci8086,10D6
