[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:

19
-
A-1: For normal single or multiple processor kernel
20
-
"gcc -DMODULE -D__KERNEL__ -I/usr/src/linux/net/inet -Wall
21
-
-Wstrict-prototypes -O6 -c dmfe.c"
22

B. The following steps teach you how to activate a DM9102 board:
29
30
-
1. Used the upper compiler command to compile dmfe.c
31
32
-
2. Insert dmfe module into kernel
33
-
"insmod dmfe" ;;Auto Detection Mode (Suggest)
34
-
"insmod dmfe mode=0" ;;Force 10M Half Duplex
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
39
-
3. Config a dm9102 network interface
40
-
"ifconfig eth0 172.22.3.18"
41
-
^^^^^^^^^^^ Your IP address
42
43
-
4. Activate the IP routing table. For some distributions, it is not
44
-
necessary. You can type "route" to check.
45
46
-
"route add default eth0"
47
48

-
5. Well done. Your DM9102 adapter is now activated.

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 :
18
19
+
dmfe: Davicom DM9xxx net driver, version 1.36.4 (2002-01-17)
20
21
+
If you compiled this driver as a module, you have to load it on boot.You can load it with command :
22
23
+
insmod dmfe
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
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
32
33
+
Next you should configure your network interface with a command similar to :
34
35
+
ifconfig eth0 172.22.3.18
36
+
^^^^^^^^^^^
37
+
Your IP Adress
38
39
+
Then you may have to modify the default routing table with command :
40
41
+
route add default eth0
42
43
44
+
Now your ethernet card should be up and running.

TODO:

Implement pci_driver::suspend() and pci_driver::resume() power management methods.
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.
