While I'm helping with the process of asking for drivers to be
released, I would also suggest that the source code for the
AppleRTL8169Ethernet gigabit ethernet driver also be released under the
terms of a free software agreement such as APSL (especially x86). In
this way Darwin-only, open-only developers could have cheap access to
gigabit-level transfer speeds, which are are currently not available to
them. This would be very helpful for OS testing, backup, and software
deployment among other things. Moreover it would be a boon to the
usership in general as an excellent example of releasing a Darwin
version of a driver which is already free and open source on many other
platforms.
Perhaps another FOSS Darwin driver already exists which would be
suitable to these stated needs. Alternative suggestions are welcome, but
they should be free and open source, obviously.
