Perhaps you know something I don't.

How does PTP/1588 not require "aware" hardware?  I gather the only
reasonably affordable versions of these NIC chips is Intel, and the
82574 series is one of them (the 82576EB is another), and this is for
"client only".

I gather it takes a bit more to have a NIC be a PTP masterclock.
