[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.

14 | This driver provides kernel support for Davicom DM9102(A)/DM9132/DM9801 ethernet cards ( CNET | ||
15 | 10/100 ethernet cards uses Davicom chipset too, so this driver supports CNET cards too ).If you | ||
16 | didn't compile this driver as a module, it will automatically load itself on boot and print a | ||
17 | line similar to : | ||
16 | 18 | ||
17 | A. Compiler command: | 19 | dmfe: Davicom DM9xxx net driver, version 1.36.4 (2002-01-17) |
18 | 20 | ||
19 | A-1: For normal single or multiple processor kernel | 21 | If you compiled this driver as a module, you have to load it on boot.You can load it with command : |
20 | "gcc -DMODULE -D__KERNEL__ -I/usr/src/linux/net/inet -Wall | ||
21 | -Wstrict-prototypes -O6 -c dmfe.c" | ||
22 | 22 | ||
23 | A-2: For single or multiple processor with kernel module version function | 23 | insmod dmfe |
24 | "gcc -DMODULE -DMODVERSIONS -D__KERNEL__ -I/usr/src/linux/net/inet | ||
25 | -Wall -Wstrict-prototypes -O6 -c dmfe.c" | ||
26 | 24 | ||
25 | This way it will autodetect the device mode.This is the suggested way to load the module.Or you can pass | ||
26 | a mode= setting to module while loading, like : | ||
27 | 27 | ||
28 | B. The following steps teach you how to activate a DM9102 board: | 28 | insmod dmfe mode=0 # Force 10M Half Duplex |
29 | insmod dmfe mode=1 # Force 100M Half Duplex | ||
30 | insmod dmfe mode=4 # Force 10M Full Duplex | ||
31 | insmod dmfe mode=5 # Force 100M Full Duplex | ||
29 | 32 | ||
30 | 1. Used the upper compiler command to compile dmfe.c | 33 | Next you should configure your network interface with a command similar to : |
31 | 34 | ||
32 | 2. Insert dmfe module into kernel | 35 | ifconfig eth0 172.22.3.18 |
33 | "insmod dmfe" ;;Auto Detection Mode (Suggest) | 36 | ^^^^^^^^^^^ |
34 | "insmod dmfe mode=0" ;;Force 10M Half Duplex | 37 | Your IP Adress |
35 | "insmod dmfe mode=1" ;;Force 100M Half Duplex | ||
36 | "insmod dmfe mode=4" ;;Force 10M Full Duplex | ||
37 | "insmod dmfe mode=5" ;;Force 100M Full Duplex | ||
38 | 38 | ||
39 | 3. Config a dm9102 network interface | 39 | Then you may have to modify the default routing table with command : |
40 | "ifconfig eth0 172.22.3.18" | ||
41 | ^^^^^^^^^^^ Your IP address | ||
42 | 40 | ||
43 | 4. Activate the IP routing table. For some distributions, it is not | 41 | route add default eth0 |
44 | necessary. You can type "route" to check. | ||
45 | 42 | ||
46 | "route add default eth0" | ||
47 | 43 | ||
44 | Now your ethernet card should be up and running. | ||
48 | 45 | ||
49 | 5. Well done. Your DM9102 adapter is now activated. | ||
50 | 46 | ||
47 | TODO: | ||
51 | 48 | ||
52 | C. Object files description: | 49 | Implement pci_driver::suspend() and pci_driver::resume() power management methods. |
53 | 1. dmfe_rh61.o: For Redhat 6.1 | 50 | Check on 64 bit boxes. |
51 | Check and fix on big endian boxes. | ||
52 | Test and make sure PCI latency is now correct for all cases. | ||
54 | 53 | ||
55 | If you can make sure your kernel version, you can rename | ||
56 | to dmfe.o and directly use it without re-compiling. | ||
