Intel® PRO/1000 Family Gigabit Ethernet Driver

License Issues

The ipro100 driver stays under a dual license, because the driver is made from source files with individual licenses. This means, both the conditions of the Marcus Overhagen license and the Intel Corporation license apply to the compiled driver binary. See below for the actual license texts.
