just em, there is an igb driver (this follows behavior with our Linux drivers).
All adapters up to the 82575 are supported in em, and new client/desktop support
will continue to be in that adapter.
The igb driver is for new server NICs like the 82575 and its followons.
Advanced features for virtualization and performance will be in this driver.
Also, both drivers now have shared code that is up to the latest we have
released. Some stylistic changes as well.
Enjoy :)
shared code infrastructure that is family specific and
modular. There is also support for our latest gigabit
nic, the 82575 that is MSI/X and multiqueue capable.
The new shared code changes some interfaces to the core
code but testing at Intel has been going on for months,
it is fairly stable.
I have attempted to be careful in retaining any fixes that
CURRENT had and we did not, I apologize in advance if any
thing gets clobbered, I'm sure I'll hear about it :)

new chips and improves support for already supported ones.
Some details, important for future merges:
- if_em.c merged manually, viewing diff between new vendor
driver and previous one.
- if_em_hw.h dropped in from vendor, and then restored revisions
1.16, 1.17, 1.18.
- if_em_hw.c dropped in from vendor, and then two liner change made,
that restores support for two rare chips.
