Simon Horman 04cb1cde5c [e1000] Add 82576 support
Add the 82576 to the e1000 driver.

- Examining the Linux 2.6.30-rc4 igb driver, which supports this card and;
- Information available in the Intel® 82576 Gigabit Ethernet
  Controller Datasheet v2.1, which is available from Intel's web site.

I only have a dual-ported card with Copper PHY, so any code paths relating
to Fibre haven't been tested. Also, I have only tested using auto-negotiation
of speed and duplex, and no flow control.  Other code paths relating to
those settings also have not been exercised.

gPXE README File

gPXE is an implementation of the PXE specification for network
booting, with extensions to allow additional features such as booting
via HTTP, iSCSI, and AoE.  

In generally, gPXE is compatible with the industry-standard PXE
specification, and also supports Etherboot .nbi file loading and some
additional protocols and features.

For more detailed information about gPXE, please visit our project
website at: http://etherboot.org/

BUILDING gPXE IMAGE FROM SOURCE

If you don't want to install development tools, and have access to the
Web, you can get gPXE and Etherboot ROM images made on demand from
http://rom-o-matic.net/

If you would like to compile gPXE images from source, here are some tips.

We normally compile gPXE images on x86, 32-bit Linux machines. It is
possible to also use x86-64 machines. We use gcc compiler options to
create 32-bit output.

It is important to have the necessary software  packages installed.  A gcc-based
toolchain is required.

The following packages (at least) are required:

  - a gcc tool chain (gcc 3.x or gcc 4.x)
  - binutils
  - perl
  - syslinux
  - mtools
  
To test your environment, cd to the "src" directory and type:

   make

You should see a lot of output, and when it stops, the "bin" directory
should be populated with gPXE images and object files.

To learn more about what to build and how to use gPXE, please visit our
project website at http://etherboot.org/ , particularly the "howto" section.
