AppleIntelE1000e.kext 32/64 for 10.8,10.7,10.6 & 10.5 (until 2.0.0).

This driver is based on Intel Wired Ethernet for Linux ( e1000.sourceforge.net ) . As it uses ( almost as is ) Linux driver's source code, the license is GPL.

The base Linux driver is e1000e-1.9.5 and works with Intel PCI Express ethernet chips like 82578 (P55/H55) and 82579 (P67/H67).
I tested 82573, 82574L, 82578, 82579 only as I do not have other NICs.

82575/82578/82580 based NIC needs another one - AppleIGB.kext.

List of the IDs supported by original driver:

0x105E,0x105F,0x1060,0x10D9,0x10DA,0x10A4,0x10D5,0x10A5,0x10BC,0x107D,
0x107E,0x107F,0x10B9,0x108B,0x108C,0x109A,0x10D3,0x10F6,0x150C,0x1096,
0x1098,0x10BA,0x10BB,0x1501,0x1049,0x104A,0x104B,0x104C,0x10C4,0x10C5,
0x104D,0x10BF,0x10F5,0x10CB,0x10BD,0x10E5,0x294C,0x10C0,0x10C3,0x10C2,
0x10CC,0x10CD,0x10CE,0x10DE,0x10DF,0x10EA,0x10EB,0x10EF,0x10F0,
0x1502,0x1503,0x153a,0x153b,0x1559,0x155a,

0x15a0,0x15a1,0x15a2,0x15a3,0x156f,0x1570

0x104B and 0x10F6 are supported by Apple's Intel82574L.kext ( so removed from this driver's Info.plist ).

Availabie at: sourceforge .
