  Linux 2.4.x
  ===========

  This document contains instructions on installing Linux driver
  and adjusting speed for RTL8169/RTL8110 Series Gigabit Ethernet Adapter

  Installing Driver:
  ------------------
  r8169.c -- RTL8169s/8110s Linux driver version 1.6 <2003-08-26>

  1. This driver supports RealTek RTL8169s/8110s Gigabit Ethernet Adapter
  for Linux kernel 2.4.x.


  2. Installation steps:
  (1)Compiling r8169.c using 'Makefile'.

  "make"

  <NOTE>Please remember to ASSIGN "NEW_INCLUDE_PATH" in Makefile according to
  linux kernel.

  (2)Move r8169.o to the directory "/lib/modules/<kernel>/kernel/drivers/net".

  "cp r8169.o /lib/modules/<kernel>/kernel/drivers/net"

  where <kernel> represents the kernel version, say 2.4.18-3 in Red Hat 7.3

  (3)Insert module by

  "insmod r8169.o"

  (4)Check driver status

  "dmesg"


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

  Cmd: "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.
