| 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. | ||
