No doubt part of the Wintel (intel + Microsoft) strategy to perpetually 
break non-windows platforms with new incompatible
hardware like the switch over from the e1000 MT adapters to e1000 GT 
which are not backward compatible with the older chipsets.

I still have not seen the GT adapter work correctly off windows.
