Can you have a look at it, and if it seems ok to you, can you add it to > the repository ? I will have a look the next days. Just poke me if you don't receive a feedback. To prepare your contribution for a merge, olease follow [1] as close as technically feasible for you. At least I need that formal declaration in form of the signed-off that you and/or your colleague are allowed to contribute this work under the GPL to RTnet (if done privately, it's no problem, but when done for your employer, they first of all hold the rights of your work). Even nicer would be if you could integrate the driver into RTnet's build system. Pick e.g. the addition of rt_igb and transfer that pattern to your even simpler (single file) driver.
