  =================

  This document contains instructions on installing Linux driver
  and adjusting speed for RTL8169 Series Gigabit Ethernet Adapter

  Installing Driver:
  ------------------
  r8169_n.c -- RTL8169s Linux driver version 2.2

  1. This driver supports RealTek RTL8169 Gigabit Ethernet Adapter
     for Linux kernel 2.4.x and 2.6.x.


  2. Quick install with proper kernel settings.

     "make all"


  3. The media can be forced to one of the 5 modes as follows.

     "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.


  4. Advanced feature.
     - Supports Jumbo Frame:
        modify "#undef RTL8169_JUMBO_FRAME_SUPPORT" to
               "#define RTL8169_JUMBO_FRAME_SUPPORT"
     - Hardware Tx/Rx flow control:
        modify "#undef RTL8169_HW_FLOW_CONTROL_SUPPORT" to 
               "#define RTL8169_HW_FLOW_CONTROL_SUPPORT"
