[PATCH] Documentation/networking/dmfe.txt: Make documentation nicer
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.

A. Compiler command:
|
||||
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 :
|
||||
|
||||
A-1: For normal single or multiple processor kernel
|
||||
"gcc -DMODULE -D__KERNEL__ -I/usr/src/linux/net/inet -Wall
|
||||
-Wstrict-prototypes -O6 -c dmfe.c"
|
||||
dmfe: Davicom DM9xxx net driver, version 1.36.4 (2002-01-17)
|
||||
|
||||
A-2: For single or multiple processor with kernel module version function
|
||||
"gcc -DMODULE -DMODVERSIONS -D__KERNEL__ -I/usr/src/linux/net/inet
|
||||
-Wall -Wstrict-prototypes -O6 -c dmfe.c"
|
||||
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
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
B. The following steps teach you how to activate a DM9102 board:
|
||||
|
||||
1. Used the upper compiler command to compile dmfe.c
|
||||
|
||||
2. Insert dmfe module into kernel
|
||||
"insmod dmfe" ;;Auto Detection Mode (Suggest)
|
||||
"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
|
||||
|
||||
3. Config a dm9102 network interface
|
||||
"ifconfig eth0 172.22.3.18"
|
||||
^^^^^^^^^^^ Your IP address
|
||||
|
||||
4. Activate the IP routing table. For some distributions, it is not
|
||||
necessary. You can type "route" to check.
|
||||
|
||||
"route add default eth0"
|
||||
Now your ethernet card should be up and running.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
5. Well done. Your DM9102 adapter is now activated.
|
||||
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.

If you can make sure your kernel version, you can rename
|
||||
to dmfe.o and directly use it without re-compiling.
