it's all supported.
the pro/1000 PT has 2 82571 controllers and a pcie/pcie switch
(i forget the company that makes that thing). it's a very fancy
bit of hardware.
the pcie generation of intel nics are pretty good. for the most
part, one can ignore the phy. i wish they'd do it like myricom,
though. myricom thinks the driver is on a need-to-know basis
about the mac/phy. and the driver doesn't need to know.
