To be honest tg3, as one example, supports quite a large array of different pieces of hardware that use the same logical core. So that would be my litmus test about how different a chip needs to be to deserve an entirely new driver. I strongly suggest you try to get atl1c working properly. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe netdev" in the body of a message to majordomo@...r.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
