I'm looking at the source and the code that interfaces with the PHY has had every single comment stripped out of it. I don't see the point of that, it'll just take a bit longer for the code to be understood... after all, these guys have even black-box reverse-engineered many NICs.

For those who didn't know

"black box" reverse engineering - systems are observed without examining internal structure.

"white box" reverse engineering - the inner workings of the system are inspected.
