Two Intel Pro/100+ Management Adapters from Intel for $40

[Manfred Young]

Network drivers written for the 82557 or 82558 chipset, that includes the
Linux driver, need to be updated for the 82559. In my experience, without
making changes to the driver, the 82559 will run about 5% to 20% slower than
it should. I made these measurements on a CacheFlow cache using its
proprietary driver, but I assume Linux will be about the same.
