PCnet-Fast Linux (Caldera 2.x Redhat 6.x) Device Driver
===========================================
Driver release version: 1.0 Release Date: 2/10/2000
----------------------------------------------------
Purpose of this driver:

The Linux driver supports AMD 10/100 PCnet-FAST, PCnet-FAST+, PCnet -FAST III PCI LAN controller (in Redhat 6.0, 6.1 and Caldera 2.2, 2.3 environment). The Linux driver has been modified so that the driver supports the 10/100 HD/FD function and LED reprogramming.

Files included: Unzipping the linx_fst.Zip file will produce the following files:

PCnet32.o    17kb      03/01/00
pcnet32.c     44kb      03/01/00
PCnet32.h     5 kb      03/01/00
ReadMe        5 kb      03/20/00

Installations and Supported Features:

This driver is tested on the Redhat Linux release 6.0, 6.1 with 2.2.5-15, 2.2.12-20 kernel and Caldera systems OpenLinux 2.2, 2.3 kernel version 2.2.5, 2.2.10 respectivley.

For installing driver on Caldera or Redahat system:

1.[For Both] Install the AMD PCnet PCI adapter in the PCI slot of your machine and boot the system.
2. [For Both] Boot the system. Check if the pcnet32.o driver module is in the
/lib/modules/'uname -r'/net" directory, where "uname -r" is the current
Version module directory.
3. [For Both] Test the module by running the command "insmod pcnet32.o"
4. [For Both] Install the driver module using the command install -m 644 pcnet32.o
/lib/modules/'uname -r'/net/
5a.[For Caldera] Choose the Coas/Network/Ethernet Interfaces on
the KDE main menu. Use the menu selections to select the interfaces,
protocols and other configuration information and activate the adapter.

5b.[For Redhat ] Run the netcfg program. Use the menu selections to
select the interfaces, protocols and other configuration information
and activate the adapter.

6. [For Both] Add the line "alias eth0 pcnet32" in the file /etc/conf.modules and
save to automatically load the module. eth0 represents the pcnet32
adapter's interface. eth1 would represent another adapter if it is
installed.

7. [For Both]Reboot. The interface eth0 is active and networking is enabled.
8. [For Both] To build the new driver copy the source files pcnet32.c and pcnet32.h
in a temporary directory and build using the compile-command: gcc
-D__KERNEL__ -DMODVERSIONS -DMODULE -I/usr/src/linux/net/inet -Wall
-Wstrict-prototypes -O6 -m486 -c pcnet32.c. Copy the pcnet32.o file
created in the /lib/modules/'uname -r'/net directory. Run the following
command if ethernet module is already installed: 1. ifconfig eth0 down
2. rmmod pcnet32 3. insmod pcnet32 or else do insmod pcnet32

9a.[For Caldera] To enable "Autonegotiation" edit the /etc/conf .modules
file to add the line "options pcnet32 options=0" below the "alias eth0
pcnet32" line. The following indicate the various options for enabling
the various interfaces. Only ONE of the following lines can be added.
Only one interface is activated based on the keyword it represents. If
neither option is selected the driver/device defaults to autonegotiation. Each option is
selected by the number it represents
9b.[For Redhat] To enable "Autonegotiation" edit the /etc/conf.modules
file to add the line "options pcnet32 options=0" below the "alias eth0
pcnet32" line. The following indicate the various options for enabling
the various interfaces. Only ONE of the following lines can be added.
Only one interface is activated based on the keyword it represents. If
neither option is selected the driver/device defaults to autonegotiation.
Each option is selected by the number it represents:

options pcnet32 options=0 #(Autonegotiation)
options pcnet32 options=9 #(MII, 10Mbps, Half duplex)
options pcnet32 options=10 #(MII, 10Mbps, Full duplex)
options pcnet32 options=13 #(MII, 100Mbps, Half duplex)
options pcnet32 options=14 #(MII, 100Mbps, Full duplex)

For example the file would contain the following lines to select 10Mbps,
Half-duplex.

alias eth0 pcnet32
options pcnet32 options=10

10. [For Both]To enable LED reprogramming, read the LED documentation from AMD.
11a.[For Caldera] To activate LED programming on eth0 interface edit the
file /etc/conf.modules

alias eth0 pcnet32
options pcnet32 options=0, led_program=1

11b.[For Redhat] To activate LED programming on eth0 interface edit the
file /etc/conf.modules.

alias eth0 pcnet32
options pcnet32 options=0, led_program=1

Edit the pcnet32.h file to select what each LED should represent. Go to
the structure LED_STRUCT at the bottom and for eth0 go to index 0 and
change the values in the 0th array elements to the values required by you.
Make sure the syntax is right by checking the example array provided on
the top. For eth1 go to the index 1 and so on.

12. [For Both] Recompile and load the module as per step 8. Reboot to enable the changes.
