  Linux driver for kernel 2.2.X

  Realtek CardBus Ethernet Card Installation on Linux:
  
  01.Copy the driver source files to a convenient directory.
  
  02.Compile the source code:
     The instruction for compiling the driver is include at the 
     end of the driver file.If a compile-command is not there use 
     the following compile command:
     (Run this instruction at /usr/src/linux) 
           
     *compile-command: 
      " gcc -DCARDBUS -DMODULE -D__KERNEL__ -Wall -Wstrict-prototypes 
        -O6 -c rtl8139.c -o realtek_cb.o
        -I/usr/src/linux/{card-service-version}/include/pcmcia "

     Or you can use the Makefile included in the driver disk \LINUX.
     
     *The directory "{card-service-version}" stands for the card service 
     version you use. Please change it to the version on your system in 
     order to include proper .h file. The final file is realtek_cb.o

  03.Copy the module "realtek_cb.o" to 
     "/lib/modules/{kernel-version}/pcmcia"

     *The directory "{kernel-version}" stands for the Linux kernel 
      version you use. 

  04.Edit config:
     ->Add 5 lines to the file "/etc/pcmcia/config"
     
     #
     # Device driver definitions
     #
    
     device "realtek_cb"                                 (==>Add 1/5)
     class "network" module "cb_enabler", "realtek_cb"   (==>Add 2/5) 
    
     :
     :
  
     #
     # CardBus Cards
     #
  
     card "Realtek CardBus Ethernet Card"                (==>Add 3/5)
     manfid 0x0000, 0x024C                               (==>Add 4/5)
     bind "realtek_cb"                                   (==>Add 5/5)
     
     The values 0x0000, 0x024C are JEDEC ID and can be read by typing 
     "cardctl ident" on console with one card on socket.

  05.Edit linuxconf
     ->Type "linuxconf" and choose 
     "Config"-->"Networking"-->"Client tasks"-->"Basic host information".
     Select an adapter, enable it, and type "realtek_cb"
     on "Kernel module" and "eth0" (or eth1, eth2) on "Net device".
