Description

Some recent skylake motherboards come with newer intel network interface chips.

Normally one need only compile the appropriate module and replace with what's in /boot/kernel, however, in this instance, the module is baked into the kernel itself, thus making the easy switch requiring a complete replacement of the kernel.

Please make at least the if_em driver a module instead.
