* net-misc/e1000
Latest version available: 5.2.30.1

Are they different than the modules that are built when compiling your kernel? I'm having problems with bittorrent and kernel 2.6 and was thinking that maybe these ebuilds would help. |

AFAIK these are the proprietary drivers from Intel. Correct me if I'm wrong.

| I would think that they're the same drivers that are included with the kernels. Not 100% sure about that though. |
