I've been told (Thanks to Ed Durrant) that the IBM Device Driver site was
again incorrect in listing the IBM version of the Intel Pro/1000 Gigabit
driver as updated.  It is again the same driver from last year.

However checking the Intel site, they have a different version (Intel
lists it as 10.0) of a driver (PRODOS.EXE) for the Intel Pro/1000 and
Pro/100 which shows as having been updated 05/02/2005.  This doesn't
require any subscription to download, but it is in a stupid windoze
executable archive.  You can unarchive it using Odin.  This package
includes both DOS and OS/2 drivers.  The included OS/2 drivers are:

    e1000.os2 28,212   2/28/2005
    e100b.os2 25,140 11/23/2004

The release notes are at
ftp://aiedownload.intel.com/df-support/4239/ENG/relnotes.rtf but it
doesn't really have anything useful that I could see.  Note this is in RTF
format, which is readable using OpenOffice.org and probably Lotus WordPro,
but not by a web browser.
