15This file contains the instructions and caveats for my SMC9xxx driver.  You
16should not be using the driver without reading this file.
17
18Things to note about installation:
19
20  1. The driver should work on all kernels from 1.2.13 until 1.3.71.
21     (A kernel patch is supplied for 1.3.71 )
22
23  2. If you include this into the kernel, you might need to change some
24     options, such as for forcing IRQ.
25
26
27  3.  To compile as a module, run 'make'.
28      Make will give you the appropriate options for various kernel support.
29
30  4.  Loading the driver as a module::
31
32	use:   insmod smc9194.o
33	optional parameters:
34		io=xxxx    : your base address
35		irq=xx	   : your irq
36		ifport=x   :	0 for whatever is default
37				1 for twisted pair
