[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.

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