3.Installation Guide
====================
To install the driver, you should reconfigure and recompile your Linux
kernel as follows:
Make sure your kernel version number is 2.6.5-358.
Copy uli526x.c to /usr/src/linux-2.6.5-358/drivers/net/tulip/, and modify the
following file in this directory. (Make a backup of them.)
1.Kconfig.in
add the following lines to Config.in file.(refer to the Config.in file we provide to you)
config M526X
tristate "ULi M526x controller support"
depends on PCI
select CRC32
---help---
This driver is for ULi M5261/M5263 10/100M Ethernet Controller
(<http://www.uli.com.tw/>).
To compile this driver as a module, choose M here.
2.Makefile
add the following lines to Makefile.(refer to the Makefile we provide to you)
obj-$(CONFIG_M526X) += uli526x.o

sure "ULi M526x controller support" is set as module.
Example:
Select "Device Drivers"
Select "Networking support"
Select "Ethernet (10 or 100Mbit)"
Select "Tulip family network device support"
Select "ULi M526x controller support" as "m"
Step 2:
Select "Loadable module support", and unselect "Set version information
on all module symbols"
Before exit, save your configration.
Step 3:
make modules
make modules_install
