Linux driver for kernel 2.2.X

Installation on Linux:
----------------------
1. Compile the source code :

 ->Copy the source code dfe690.c (Ver 1.11a above) to a directory
   and execute
   "gcc -DCARDBUS -DMODULE -D_KERNEL_ -Wall -Wstrict-prototypes -O6 -c 
   dfe690.c -o dfe690_cb.o -I/usr/src/linux/pcmcia-cs-3.0.9/include/
   pcmcia/"
   
   The directory "pcmcia-cs-3.0.9" stands for the card service version you 
   use. Please change it to the version on your system in order to include 
   proper .h file. The final file is dfe690_cb.o

2. Copy driver :

 ->Copy the file "dfe690_cb.o" to "/lib/modules/2.2.14-5.0/pcmcia"
 
   The directory "2.2.14-5.0" stands for the Linux kernel version you use.

3. Edit config:
 ->Add 5 lines to the file "/etc/pcmcia/config"
   
   #
   # Device driver definitions
   #
  
   device "dfe690_cb"                                   (==>Add 1/5)
