Organize driver documentation by device type. Most documents have fairly verbose yet uninformative names, so let users first select a well defined device type, and then search for a particular driver. While at it rename the section from Vendor drivers to Hardware drivers. This seems more accurate, besides people sometimes refer to out-of-tree drivers as vendor drivers.

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 Address
|
|
|
|
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.
