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
