Sounds good.

 From what I recall, igb is missing rx-fcs (and it may not be possible to
support the feature..chipset seems to act weird), but I think that takes care
of the rest of the 10/100/1000 Intel NICs.

I'll see if I can add some support for ixgbe when I get a chance.  That would
take care of all the NICs I normally use I think...


Thanks,
Ben
