where were you when we discussed this? We took over a year and a half to get to a
final plan and many people responded and provided feedback. In the end Jeff Garzik
and many community members suggested a plan and this is what I implemented. In not
a single way did I force anything down anyones throat. I did exactly what the
community wanted me to do, and in the way that it seemed best by everyone.
You only complain and do not provide a single solution to your problem. Your
continued screaming and whining is totally not productive nor constructive at all,
and frankly is insulting since you completely ignore the fact that we worked with
the the community more than two-year to come to some maintainable situation. All
you do is complain. Direct your problems to the network stack and driver
maintainers since they approved and worked with me to implement the changes.
*** NOTE: I NO LONGER MAINTAIN E1000/E1000E, nor do I represent them or speak for
them. ***
I frankly suggested that you try e1000e because this might provide valuable
information for the people who are taking this ingrateful job after me. This was
meant in a productive and constructive way.
your flame is totally inappropriate and unprofessional. Either come up with a
solution or start working on one, like I did when I took the much hated job as
e1000 maintainer.
I am totally open to suggestions and if needed I will work with the current
e1000/e1000e maintainers on working something out if I see a better solution than
the current situation. Until I see such a thing I can't do much else than ignore
your childish whining.
