This documentation is mostly obsolete, and should therefore either be
updated or removed (this patch does the latter).

-Chapter 1. Introduction
-
-   This document describes the revision 1.06 and 1.07 of SiS 900/7016
-   Fast Ethernet device driver under Linux. The driver is developed by
-   Silicon Integrated System Corp. and distributed freely under the GNU
-   General Public License (GPL). The driver can be compiled as a loadable
-   module and used under Linux kernel version 2.2.x. (rev. 1.06) With
-   minimal changes, the driver can also be used under 2.3.x and 2.4.x
-   kernel (rev. 1.07), please see Chapter 5. If you are intended to use
-   the driver for earlier kernels, you are on your own.
-   
-   The driver is tested with usual TCP/IP applications including FTP,
-   Telnet, Netscape etc. and is used constantly by the developers.
-   
-   Please send all comments/fixes/questions to Lei-Chun Chang.
-     _________________________________________________________________

-Chapter 2. Changes
-
-   Changes made in Revision 1.07
-   
-    1. Separation of sis900.c and sis900.h in order to move most constant
-       definition to sis900.h (many of those constants were corrected)
-    2. Clean up PCI detection, the pci-scan from Donald Becker were not
-       used, just simple pci_find_*.
-    3. MII detection is modified to support multiple mii transceiver.
-    4. Bugs in read_eeprom, mdio_* were removed.
-    5. Lot of sis900 irrelevant comments were removed/changed and more
-       comments were added to reflect the real situation.
-    6. Clean up of physical/virtual address space mess in buffer
-       descriptors.
-    7. Better transmit/receive error handling.
-    8. The driver now uses zero-copy single buffer management scheme to
-       improve performance.
-    9. Names of variables were changed to be more consistent.
-   10. Clean up of auo-negotiation and timer code.
-   11. Automatic detection and change of PHY on the fly.
-   12. Bug in mac probing fixed.
-   13. Fix 630E equalier problem by modifying the equalizer workaround
-       rule.
-   14. Support for ICS1893 10/100 Interated PHYceiver.
-   15. Support for media select by ifconfig.
-   16. Added kernel-doc extratable documentation.

-Chapter 5. Installation
-
-   Silicon Integrated System Corp. is cooperating closely with core Linux
-   Kernel developers. The revisions of SiS 900 driver are distributed by
-   the usuall channels for kernel tar files and patches. Those kernel tar
-   files for official kernel and patches for kernel pre-release can be
-   download at official kernel ftp site and its mirrors. The 1.06
-   revision can be found in kernel version later than 2.3.15 and
-   pre-2.2.14, and 1.07 revision can be found in kernel version 2.4.0. If
-   you have no prior experience in networking under Linux, please read
-   Ethernet HOWTO and Networking HOWTO available from Linux Documentation
-   Project (LDP).
-   
-   The driver is bundled in release later than 2.2.11 and 2.3.15 so this
-   is the most easy case. Be sure you have the appropriate packages for
-   compiling kernel source. Those packages are listed in Document/Changes
-   in kernel source distribution. If you have to install the driver other
-   than those bundled in kernel release, you should have your driver file
-   sis900.c and sis900.h copied into /usr/src/linux/drivers/net/ first.
-   There are two alternative ways to install the driver
-     _________________________________________________________________
-   
-Building the driver as loadable module
-
-   To build the driver as a loadable kernel module you have to
-   reconfigure the kernel to activate network support by
-   
-make menuconfig
-
-   Choose "Loadable module support --->", then select "Enable loadable
-   module support".
-   
-   Choose "Network Device Support --->", select "Ethernet (10 or
-   100Mbit)". Then select "EISA, VLB, PCI and on board controllers", and
-   choose "SiS 900/7016 PCI Fast Ethernet Adapter support" to "M".
-   
-   After reconfiguring the kernel, you can make the driver module by
-   
-make modules
-
-   The driver should be compiled with no errors. After compiling the
-   driver, the driver can be installed to proper place by
-   
-make modules_install
-
-   Load the driver into kernel by
-   
-insmod sis900
-
-   When loading the driver into memory, some information message can be
-   view by
-   
-dmesg
-
-   or
-cat /var/log/message
-
-   If the driver is loaded properly you will have messages similar to
-   this:
-   
-sis900.c: v1.07.06  11/07/2000
-eth0: SiS 900 PCI Fast Ethernet at 0xd000, IRQ 10, 00:00:e8:83:7f:a4.
-eth0: SiS 900 Internal MII PHY transceiver found at address 1.
-eth0: Using SiS 900 Internal MII PHY as default
-
-   showing the version of the driver and the results of probing routine.
-   
-   Once the driver is loaded, network can be brought up by
-   
-/sbin/ifconfig eth0 IPADDR broadcast BROADCAST netmask NETMASK media TYPE
-
-   where IPADDR, BROADCAST, NETMASK are your IP address, broadcast
-   address and netmask respectively. TYPE is used to set medium type used
-   by the device. Typical values are "10baseT"(twisted-pair 10Mbps
-   Ethernet) or "100baseT" (twisted-pair 100Mbps Ethernet). For more
-   information on how to configure network interface, please refer to
-   Networking HOWTO.
-   
-   The link status is also shown by kernel messages. For example, after
-   the network interface is activated, you may have the message:
-   
-eth0: Media Link On 100mbps full-duplex
-
-   If you try to unplug the twist pair (TP) cable you will get
-   
-eth0: Media Link Off
-
-   indicating that the link is failed.
-     _________________________________________________________________
-   
-Building the driver into kernel
-
-   If you want to make the driver into kernel, choose "Y" rather than "M"
-   on "SiS 900/7016 PCI Fast Ethernet Adapter support" when configuring
-   the kernel. Build the kernel image in the usual way
-   
-make clean
-
-make bzlilo
-
-   Next time the system reboot, you have the driver in memory.
-     _________________________________________________________________
-   
-Chapter 6. Known Problems and Bugs
-
-   There are some known problems and bugs. If you find any other bugs
-   please mail to lcchang@sis.com.tw
-   
-    1. AM79C901 HomePNA PHY is not thoroughly tested, there may be some
-       bugs in the "on the fly" change of transceiver.
-    2. A bug is hidden somewhere in the receive buffer management code,
-       the bug causes NULL pointer reference in the kernel. This fault is
-       caught before bad things happen and reported with the message:
-       eth0: NULL pointer encountered in Rx ring, skipping which can be
-       viewed with dmesg or cat /var/log/message.
-    3. The media type change from 10Mbps to 100Mbps twisted-pair ethernet
-       by ifconfig causes the media link down.
