    [net] Gracefully handle shared e1000/1000e driver PCI ID's · 60e23317
    Linus Torvalds 提交于
    Both the old e1000 driver and the new e1000e driver can drive some
    PCI-Express e1000 cards, and we should avoid ambiguity about which
    driver will pick up the support for those cards when both drivers are
    enabled.
    
    This solves the problem by having the old driver support those cards if
    the new driver isn't configured, but otherwise ceding support for PCI
    Express versions of the e1000 chipset to the newer driver.  Thus
    allowing both legacy configurations where only the old driver is active
    (and handles all chips it knows about) and the new configuration with
    the new driver handling the more modern PCIE variants.
