Now that Intel has released the HW specs for the
e1000 family (generally having 825nn part numbers)
I can recommend it. The driver is mature and in
wide use and offers full support for useful features
like bonding, ipv6 and huge packets. Esoterica:
it even has a (compile time) option that causes it
to go into polled (rather than interrupt driven)
mode while traffic is above a given threshold, the
intent being to reduce interrupt overhead...
