There is currently no support for PIO operation. -The default DMA channel is 6; this is _not_ autoprobed, so you must -make sure you configure it correctly. If loading the driver as a -module, you can do this with "modprobe 3c505 dma=n". If the driver is -linked statically into the kernel, you must either use an "ether=" -statement on the command line, or change the definition of ELP_DMA in 3c505.h. - -The driver will warn you if it has to fall back on the compiled in -default DMA channel. - -If no base address is given at boot time, the driver will autoprobe -ports 0x300, 0x280 and 0x310 (in that order). If no IRQ is given, the driver -will try to probe for it. - -The driver can be used as a loadable module. - -Theoretically, one instance of the driver can now run multiple cards, -in the standard way (when loading a module, say "modprobe 3c505 -io=0x300,0x340 irq=10,11 dma=6,7" or whatever). I have not tested -this, though. - -The driver may now support revision 2 hardware; the dependency on -being able to read the host control register has been removed. This -is also untested, since I don't have a suitable card. - -Known problems: - I still see "DMA upload timed out" messages from time to time. These -seem to be fairly non-fatal though. - The card is old and slow. - -To do: - Improve probe/setup code - Test multicast and promiscuous operation - -Authors: - The driver is mainly written by Craig Southeren, email - <craigs@ineluki.apana.org.au>. - Parts of the driver (adapting the driver to 1.1.4+ kernels, - IRQ/address detection, some changes) and this README by - Juha Laiho <jlaiho@ichaos.nullnet.fi>. - DMA mode, more fixes, etc, by Philip Blundell <pjb27@cam.ac.uk> - Multicard support, Software configurable DMA, etc., by - Christopher Collins <ccollins@pcug.org.au> |
