- * Theory of operation...
- * -------------------
- * Maybe you had a look in orinoco_plx. Well, this is totally different...
- *
- * The card contains only one PCI region, which contains all the usual
- * hermes registers.
- *
- * The driver will memory map this region in normal memory. Because
- * the hermes registers are mapped in normal memory and not in ISA I/O
- * post space, we can't use the usual inw/outw macros and we need to
- * use readw/writew.
- * This slight difference force us to compile our own version of
- * hermes.c with the register access macro changed. That's a bit
- * hackish but works fine.
- *
- * Note that the PCI region is pretty big (4K). That's much more than
- * the usual set of hermes register (0x0 -> 0x3E). I've got a strong
- * suspicion that the whole memory space of the adapter is in fact in
- * this region. Accessing directly the adapter memory instead of going
- * through the usual register would speed up significantely the
- * operations...
- *
- * Finally, the card looks like this :
------------------------
- Bus 0, device 14, function 0:
- Network controller: PCI device 1260:3873 (Harris Semiconductor) (rev 1).
- IRQ 11.
- Master Capable. Latency=248.
- Prefetchable 32 bit memory at 0xffbcc000 [0xffbccfff].
