I found this ->
http://support.intel.com/support/network/sb/CS-006120.htm

Which leads me to v6.4.1 which claims support for the part in question
(checking the source shows the PCI ID)

It also has patches for TSO, although it appears to be optional.

I just installed it and it appears to work fine, I haven't done any
performance testing though, however I am only interested in basic
connectivity.

I just looked however and the latest on there is from the last
release, 6.5.6 which is only for 7. E1000 was not the real focus of
this release, the new Oplin 10G was, however as I said, 6.6.6 has the
nice feature of compiling on both OS versions, and it has the support
you need.

Just give them a week and I think it will be there, maybe I can take
a break from my other work and get to the MFC.

As the 6.4.1 driver works I am happy :)

Yes, that's just one release earlier than the one I suggested, but if you're
happy, hey, who am I to complain :)
