Thanks a lot for correcting me!

I have a project involving i225+igc (using TSN).  And someone suggested
that I also looked at i210 for TSN.  I've ordered hardware that have
i210 on motherboard (and I will insert my i225 card) so I have a system
with both chips for experimenting with TSN.  I guess, I would have
discovered this eventually when I got the hardware.  Thanks for saving
me from this mistake. Thanks!
