“SysKonnect…manufacturer of high-end network interface cards
(NICs) for strategic server links — announced today that it will
make available its Linux driver source code to all Linux users and
developers. Publishing its driver source code makes SysKonnect
among the first Gigabit Ethernet NIC manufacturers to make
available its core driver technology.“
“As such, it is believed that this precedent-setting commitment
in support of the Open Source community will make evident the
company’s position as the server NIC of choice for Linux developers
world-wide, according to Jim Kuciel, president of SysKonnect in the
USA.”
“Linux is quite obviously the hottest Internet and intranet
operating system technology in our industry today, as well as the
logical first platform for us to target,” said Mr Kuciel. “We
wanted to open up our intellectual property to everyone who is
seriously working with this leading-edge technology, enabling them
to customize LAN drivers to suit their hardware, and maximize their
clustered computing options using the most powerful solutions
possible,” he said.”
