Patch indents dmfe.txt to look like other docs. It adds a tip about CNET cards using Davicom chipsets. Also it removes parts where it refers to how to build driver out-of-kernel which seems to be cruft from times where the driver was out of the kernel.

This driver provides kernel support for Davicom DM9102(A)/DM9132/DM9801 ethernet cards ( CNET
|
|
10/100 ethernet cards uses Davicom chipset too, so this driver supports CNET cards too ).If you
|
|
didn't compile this driver as a module, it will automatically load itself on boot and print a
|
|
line similar to :
|
|
|
|
dmfe: Davicom DM9xxx net driver, version 1.36.4 (2002-01-17)
|
|
|
|
If you compiled this driver as a module, you have to load it on boot.You can load it with command :
|
|
|
|
insmod dmfe
|
|
|
|
This way it will autodetect the device mode.This is the suggested way to load the module.Or you can pass
|
|
a mode= setting to module while loading, like :
|
|
|
|
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
|
|
|
|
Next you should configure your network interface with a command similar to :
|
|
|
|
ifconfig eth0 172.22.3.18
|
|
^^^^^^^^^^^
|
|
Your IP Adress
|
|
|
|
Then you may have to modify the default routing table with command :
|
|
|
|
route add default eth0
|
|
|
|
|
|
Now your ethernet card should be up and running.

TODO:
|
|
|
|
Implement pci_driver::suspend() and pci_driver::resume() power management methods.
|
|
Check on 64 bit boxes.
|
|
Check and fix on big endian boxes.
|
|
Test and make sure PCI latency is now correct for all cases.
