======================================================================
        AON-325 10/100 Base-TX Fast Ethernet Adapter Driver
      for Linux Slackware 3.50 (Kernel version: 2.1.10)
======================================================================

  Most Linux does not support network after installation, so recompiling
  kernel is usually required to add networking capability.

We suggest the following procedure to install AON-325 on linux :

  step 1: make sure that kernel source code is included
                (check /usr/src/linux)

  step 2: recompile kernel:
                cd to /usr/src/linux, them type 'make menuconfig'

                select the following options(mark them as '*')
                 .Loadable module support->Enable loadable module support
                 .Networking options->TCP/IP networking
                 .Network device support->Ethernet(10 or 100Mbit)
                 .Network device support->Realtek 8129/8139
                                          (not 8019/8029!) support

  step 3: .after options are selected, exit and execute
                make dep;make clean;make zImage;
          .if no serious error happens, the new kernel 'zImage' will be in
             /usr/src/linux/arch/i386/boot/zImage.
          .copy this file to root.
          .modify '/etc/lilo.conf' file to make system boot from this new
           kernel image.
          .run 'lilo' (Note: When you recompile kernel everytime, the
                             'lilo' also must run everytime.)
          .reboot
		

  step 4: when system boots, the driver will be load. 
          (use 'dmesg' to check the boot message, you can see the string
           "RealTek RTL8139". Here, Realtek is chip vendor.)

  step 5: run netconfig to setup TCP/IP
        (run 'ifconfig' or 'netstat -i' to see if there is a interface
        'eth0')
