This file contains the instructions and caveats for my SMC9xxx driver. You
should not be using the driver without reading this file.
Things to note about installation:
1. The driver should work on all kernels from 1.2.13 until 1.3.71.
(A kernel patch is supplied for 1.3.71 )
2. If you include this into the kernel, you might need to change some
options, such as for forcing IRQ.
3. To compile as a module, run 'make' .
Make will give you the appropriate options for various kernel support.
4. Loading the driver as a module :
use: insmod smc9194.o
optional parameters:
io=xxxx : your base address
irq=xx : your irq
ifport=x : 0 for whatever is default
1 for twisted pair
2 for AUI ( or BNC on some cards )
