Hi there,

I'm finding it on the following two NICs:

02:00.0 Ethernet controller: Attansic Technology Corp. L1 Gigabit
Ethernet Adapter (rev b0)

05:01.0 Network controller [0280]: Broadcom Corporation BCM4306
802.11b/g Wireless LAN Controller [14e4:4320] (rev 03)

and (on a different machine):

02:00.0 Network controller [0280]: Intel Corporation WiFi Link 6000
Series [8086:422c] (rev 35)

The only one I have had any success with is:

00:19.0 Ethernet controller [0200]: Intel Corporation 82577LM Gigabit
Network Connection [8086:10ea] (rev 05)

Which I assume is because it has actual hardware acceleration.  I may be
able to put net-next on the Intel Wifi box for testing at some point,
but I don't know how soon I'll be able to do that.  Please let me know
whether that would be a worthwhile test, and if so I'll try and get it
done.  Thanks...
