ixgbe vs mxge

[Jack Vogel]

You know I generally try to maintain courtesy and civility in my
dealings with the community but this really ticks me off.

I have stayed out of this thread because I figured it was only
fair that those with obvious bias should do so.

Hopelessly neglected and broken?? ...the driver is maintained by
me, and I am in the same organization as the developers of the
Linux driver.  If anyone has real questions about my driver and
our hardware you may contact me.
