  A. Compiler command:
          "gcc -DMODULE -D__KERNEL__ -I/usr/src/linux/net/inet -Wall 
           -Wstrict-prototypes -O6 -c dmfe.c"
          OR
          "gcc -DMODULE -D__KERNEL__ -I/usr/src/linux/net -Wall 
           -Wstrict-prototypes -O6 -c dmfe.c"


  B. The following steps teach you how to active DM9102 board:

        1. Used the upper compiler command to compile dmfe.c

        2. Insert dmfe module into kernel
           "insmod dmfe"        ;;Auto Detection Mode (Suggest)
           "insmod dmfe mode=0" ;;Force 10M Half Duplex
           "insmod dmfe mode=1" ;;Force 100M Half Duplex
           "insmod dmfe mode=4" ;;Force 10M Full Duplex
           "insmod dmfe mode=5" ;;Force 100M Full Duplex

        3. Config a dm9102 network interface
           "ifconfig eth0 172.22.3.18"
                          ^^^^^^^^^^^ Your IP address

        4. Active the IP routing table. For some distributions, it is not
           necessary. You can type "route" to check.

           "route add -net 172.22.3.0 eth0"

        5. Well done. Your DM9102 adapter actived now.


   C. Object files description:
        1. dmfe2205.o   :       For kernel version 2.2.5
        2. dmfe_r60.o   :       For RedHat6.0 kernel version 2.2.5-15
        3. dmfe2212.o   :       For kernel version 2.2.12
        4. dmfe2318.o   :       For kernel version 2.3.18

        If you can make sure your kernel version, you can rename
        to dmfe.o and directly use it without re-compiling.
