All other cards are NOT -supported - refer to 'depca.c' for running the LANCE based network cards and -'de4x5.c' for the DIGITAL Semiconductor PCI chip based adapters from -Digital. - -The ability to load this driver as a loadable module has been included and -used extensively during the driver development (to save those long reboot -sequences). To utilise this ability, you have to do 8 things: - - 0) have a copy of the loadable modules code installed on your system. - 1) copy ewrk3.c from the /linux/drivers/net directory to your favourite - temporary directory. - 2) edit the source code near line 1898 to reflect the I/O address and - IRQ you're using. - 3) compile ewrk3.c, but include -DMODULE in the command line to ensure - that the correct bits are compiled (see end of source code). - 4) if you are wanting to add a new card, goto 5. Otherwise, recompile a - kernel with the ewrk3 configuration turned off and reboot. - 5) insmod ewrk3.o - [Alan Cox: Changed this so you can insmod ewrk3.o irq=x io=y] - [Adam Kropelin: Multiple cards now supported by irq=x1,x2 io=y1,y2] - 6) run the net startup bits for your new eth?? interface manually - (usually /etc/rc.inet[12] at boot time). - 7) enjoy! - - Note that autoprobing is not allowed in loadable modules - the system is - already up and running and you're messing with interrupts. - - To unload a module, turn off the associated interface - 'ifconfig eth?? down' then 'rmmod ewrk3'. - -The performance we've achieved so far has been measured through the 'ttcp' -tool at 975kB/s. This measures the total TCP stack performance which -includes the card, so don't expect to get much nearer the 1.25MB/s -theoretical Ethernet rate. - - -Enjoy! - -Dave |
