r8169.c -- RTL8169s/8110s Linux driver version 1.6 <2003-08-25>

1. This driver supports RealTek RTL8169s/8110s Gigabit Ethernet driver for
Linux kernel 2.4.x.

2. Installation steps:
	(1)Compiling r8169.c using 'Makefile'."make" 
	   <NOTE> Please remember to ASSIGN "NEW_INCLUDE_PATH" in Makefile according to
	   linux kernel.
	
	(2)Move r8169.o to the directory /lib/modules/<kernel>/kernel/drivers/net".
  	   "cp r8169.o /lib/modules/<kernel>/kernel/drivers/net"
	   where <kernel> represents the kernel version, say 2.4.18-3 in Red Hat 7.3

	(3)Insert module by "insmod r8169.o"
	(4)Check driver status "dmesg"

3. The media can be forced to one of the 5 modes as follows.
Cmd: "insmod r8169 media = SET_MEDIA"
For example:
"insmod r8169 media = 0x04" will force PHY to operate in 100Mpbs Half-duplex.
SET_MEDIA can be:
_10_Half = 0x01
		  _10_Full = 0x02
	   	  _100_Half = 0x04
	
	   	  _100_Full = 0x08
	   	  _1000_Full = 0x10
  
Force media type for multiple cards could be performed as:
"insmod r8169 media=0x04,0x10" which force PHY to operate at 100Mbps half-duplex
and 1000Mbps full-duplex.
