Linux-2.6.12-rc2
Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history,
even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git
archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about
3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early
git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good
infrastructure for it.
Let it rip!

33 | Caveats: | ||
34 | |||
35 | I am not sure if 100BaseTX daughterboards (for those cards which | ||
36 | support such things) will work. I haven't had any solid evidence | ||
37 | either way. | ||
38 | |||
39 | However, if a card supports 100BaseTx without requiring an add | ||
40 | on daughterboard, it should work with 100BaseTx. | ||
41 | |||
42 | The "Netelligent 10 T/2 PCI UTP/Coax" (b012) device is untested, | ||
43 | but I do not expect any problems. | ||
44 | |||
45 | |||
46 | II. Driver Options | ||
47 | 1. You can append debug=x to the end of the insmod line to get | ||
48 | debug messages, where x is a bit field where the bits mean | ||
49 | the following: | ||
50 | |||
51 | 0x01 Turn on general debugging messages. | ||
52 | 0x02 Turn on receive debugging messages. | ||
53 | 0x04 Turn on transmit debugging messages. | ||
54 | 0x08 Turn on list debugging messages. | ||
55 | |||
56 | 2. You can append aui=1 to the end of the insmod line to cause | ||
57 | the adapter to use the AUI interface instead of the 10 Base T | ||
58 | interface. This is also what to do if you want to use the BNC | ||
59 | connector on a TLAN based device. (Setting this option on a | ||
60 | device that does not have an AUI/BNC connector will probably | ||
61 | cause it to not function correctly.) | ||
62 | |||
63 | 3. You can set duplex=1 to force half duplex, and duplex=2 to | ||
64 | force full duplex. | ||
65 | |||
66 | 4. You can set speed=10 to force 10Mbs operation, and speed=100 | ||
67 | to force 100Mbs operation. (I'm not sure what will happen | ||
68 | if a card which only supports 10Mbs is forced into 100Mbs | ||
69 | mode.) | ||
70 | |||
71 | 5. You have to use speed=X duplex=Y together now. If you just | ||
72 | do "insmod tlan.o speed=100" the driver will do Auto-Neg. | ||
73 | To force a 10Mbps Half-Duplex link do "insmod tlan.o speed=10 | ||
74 | duplex=1". | ||
75 | |||
76 | 6. If the driver is built into the kernel, you can use the 3rd | ||
77 | and 4th parameters to set aui and debug respectively. For | ||
78 | example: | ||
79 | |||
80 | ether=0,0,0x1,0x7,eth0 | ||
81 | |||
82 | This sets aui to 0x1 and debug to 0x7, assuming eth0 is a | ||
83 | supported TLAN device. | ||
84 | |||
85 | The bits in the third byte are assigned as follows: | ||
86 | |||
87 | 0x01 = aui | ||
88 | 0x02 = use half duplex | ||
89 | 0x04 = use full duplex | ||
90 | 0x08 = use 10BaseT | ||
91 | 0x10 = use 100BaseTx | ||
92 | |||
93 | You also need to set both speed and duplex settings when forcing | ||
94 | speeds with kernel-parameters. | ||
95 | ether=0,0,0x12,0,eth0 will force link to 100Mbps Half-Duplex. | ||
96 | |||
97 | 7. If you have more than one tlan adapter in your system, you can | ||
98 | use the above options on a per adapter basis. To force a 100Mbit/HD | ||
99 | link with your eth1 adapter use: | ||
100 | |||
101 | insmod tlan speed=0,100 duplex=0,1 | ||
102 | |||
103 | Now eth0 will use auto-neg and eth1 will be forced to 100Mbit/HD. | ||
104 | Note that the tlan driver supports a maximum of 8 adapters. | ||
105 | |||
106 | |||
107 | III. Things to try if you have problems. | ||
108 | 1. Make sure your card's PCI id is among those listed in | ||
109 | section I, above. | ||
110 | 2. Make sure routing is correct. | ||
111 | 3. Try forcing different speed/duplex settings | ||
112 | |||
