+DM9000 Network driver
+=====================
+
+Copyright 2008 Simtec Electronics,
+	  Ben Dooks <ben@simtec.co.uk> <ben-linux@fluff.org>
+
+
+Introduction
+------------
+
+This file describes how to use the DM9000 platform-device based network driver
+that is contained in the files drivers/net/dm9000.c and drivers/net/dm9000.h.
+
+The driver supports three DM9000 variants, the DM9000E which is the first chip
+supported as well as the newer DM9000A and DM9000B devices. It is currently
+maintained and tested by Ben Dooks, who should be CC: to any patches for this
+driver.
+
+
+Defining the platform device
+----------------------------
+
+The minimum set of resources attached to the platform device are as follows:
+
+    1) The physical address of the address register
+    2) The physical address of the data register
+    3) The IRQ line the device's interrupt pin is connected to.
+
+These resources should be specified in that order, as the ordering of the
+two address regions is important (the driver expects these to be address
+and then data).
+
+An example from arch/arm/mach-s3c2410/mach-bast.c is:
+
+static struct resource bast_dm9k_resource[] = {
+	[0] = {
+		.start = S3C2410_CS5 + BAST_PA_DM9000,
+		.end   = S3C2410_CS5 + BAST_PA_DM9000 + 3,
+		.flags = IORESOURCE_MEM,
+	},
+	[1] = {
+		.start = S3C2410_CS5 + BAST_PA_DM9000 + 0x40,
+		.end   = S3C2410_CS5 + BAST_PA_DM9000 + 0x40 + 0x3f,
+		.flags = IORESOURCE_MEM,
+	},
+	[2] = {
+		.start = IRQ_DM9000,
+		.end   = IRQ_DM9000,
+		.flags = IORESOURCE_IRQ | IORESOURCE_IRQ_HIGHLEVEL,
+	}
+};
+
+static struct platform_device bast_device_dm9k = {
+	.name		= "dm9000",
+	.id		= 0,
+	.num_resources	= ARRAY_SIZE(bast_dm9k_resource),
+	.resource	= bast_dm9k_resource,
+};
+
+Note the setting of the IRQ trigger flag in bast_dm9k_resource[2].flags,
+as this will generate a warning if it is not present. The trigger from
+the flags field will be passed to request_irq() when registering the IRQ
+handler to ensure that the IRQ is setup correctly.
+
+This shows a typical platform device, without the optional configuration
+platform data supplied. The next example uses the same resources, but adds
+the optional platform data to pass extra configuration data:
+
+static struct dm9000_plat_data bast_dm9k_platdata = {
+	.flags		= DM9000_PLATF_16BITONLY,
+};
+
+static struct platform_device bast_device_dm9k = {
+	.name		= "dm9000",
+	.id		= 0,
+	.num_resources	= ARRAY_SIZE(bast_dm9k_resource),
+	.resource	= bast_dm9k_resource,
+	.dev		= {
+		.platform_data = &bast_dm9k_platdata,
+	}
+};
+
+The platform data is defined in include/linux/dm9000.h and described below.
+
+
+Platform data
+-------------
+
+Extra platform data for the DM9000 can describe the IO bus width to the
+device, whether or not an external PHY is attached to the device and
+the availability of an external configuration EEPROM.
+
+The flags for the platform data .flags field are as follows:
+
+DM9000_PLATF_8BITONLY
+
+	The IO should be done with 8bit operations.
+
+DM9000_PLATF_16BITONLY
+
+	The IO should be done with 16bit operations.
+
+DM9000_PLATF_32BITONLY
+
+	The IO should be done with 32bit operations.
+
+DM9000_PLATF_EXT_PHY
+
+	The chip is connected to an external PHY.
+
+DM9000_PLATF_NO_EEPROM
+
+	This can be used to signify that the board does not have an
+	EEPROM, or that the EEPROM should be hidden from the user.
+
+DM9000_PLATF_SIMPLE_PHY
+
+	Switch to using the simpler PHY polling method which does not
+	try and read the MII PHY state regularly. This is only available
+	when using the internal PHY. See the section on link state polling
+	for more information.
+
+	The config symbol DM9000_FORCE_SIMPLE_PHY_POLL, Kconfig entry
+	"Force simple NSR based PHY polling" allows this flag to be
+	forced on at build time.
+
+
+PHY Link state polling
+----------------------
+
+The driver keeps track of the link state and informs the network core
+about link (carrier) availablilty. This is managed by several methods
+depending on the version of the chip and on which PHY is being used.
+
+For the internal PHY, the original (and currently default) method is
+to read the MII state, either when the status changes if we have the
+necessary interrupt support in the chip or every two seconds via a
+periodic timer.
+
+To reduce the overhead for the internal PHY, there is now the option
+of using the DM9000_FORCE_SIMPLE_PHY_POLL config, or DM9000_PLATF_SIMPLE_PHY
+platform data option to read the summary information without the
+expensive MII accesses. This method is faster, but does not print
+as much information.
+
+When using an external PHY, the driver currently has to poll the MII
+link status as there is no method for getting an interrupt on link change.
+
+
+DM9000A / DM9000B
+-----------------
+
+These chips are functionally similar to the DM9000E and are supported easily
+by the same driver. The features are:
+
+   1) Interrupt on internal PHY state change. This means that the periodic
+      polling of the PHY status may be disabled on these devices when using
+      the internal PHY.
+
+   2) TCP/UDP checksum offloading, which the driver does not currently support.
+
+
+ethtool
+-------
+
+The driver supports the ethtool interface for access to the driver
+state information, the PHY state and the EEPROM.

-and receive data.  The following enhancements were originally acquired from

+With the 10 Gigabit server adapters, the default Linux configuration will
+very likely limit the total available throughput artificially.  There is a set
+of configuration changes that, when applied together, will increase the ability
+of Linux to transmit and receive data.  The following enhancements were
+originally acquired from settings published at http://www.spec.org/web99/ for
+various submitted results using Linux.

 The changes are made in three major ways, listed in order of greatest effect:
-- Use ifconfig to modify the mtu (maximum transmission unit) and the txqueuelen 
+- Use ifconfig to modify the mtu (maximum transmission unit) and the txqueuelen
   parameter.
 - Use sysctl to modify /proc parameters (essentially kernel tuning)
-- Use setpci to modify the MMRBC field in PCI-X configuration space to increase 
+- Use setpci to modify the MMRBC field in PCI-X configuration space to increase
   transmit burst lengths on the bus.
 
-NOTE: setpci modifies the adapter's configuration registers to allow it to read 
-up to 4k bytes at a time (for transmits).  However, for some systems the 
-behavior after modifying this register may be undefined (possibly errors of some 
-kind). A power-cycle, hard reset or explicitly setting the e6 register back to 
-22 (setpci -d 8086:1048 e6.b=22) may be required to get back to a stable 
-configuration.

 Resolving Slow UDP Traffic
 --------------------------
+If your server does not seem to be able to receive UDP traffic as fast as it
+can receive TCP traffic, it could be because Linux, by default, does not set
+the network stack buffers as large as they need to be to support high UDP
+transfer rates.  One way to alleviate this problem is to allow more memory to
+be used by the IP stack to store incoming data.

+Additional Configurations
+=========================
+
+  Configuring the Driver on Different Distributions
+  -------------------------------------------------
+  Configuring a network driver to load properly when the system is started is
+  distribution dependent. Typically, the configuration process involves adding
+  an alias line to /etc/modprobe.conf as well as editing other system startup
+  scripts and/or configuration files.  Many popular Linux distributions ship
+  with tools to make these changes for you.  To learn the proper way to
+  configure a network device for your system, refer to your distribution
+  documentation.  If during this process you are asked for the driver or module
+  name, the name for the Linux Base Driver for the Intel 10GbE Family of
+  Adapters is ixgb.
+
+  Viewing Link Messages
+  ---------------------
+  Link messages will not be displayed to the console if the distribution is
+  restricting system messages. In order to see network driver link messages on
+  your console, set dmesg to eight by entering the following:
+
+       dmesg -n 8
+
+  NOTE: This setting is not saved across reboots.
+
+
+  Jumbo Frames
+  ------------
+  The driver supports Jumbo Frames for all adapters. Jumbo Frames support is
+  enabled by changing the MTU to a value larger than the default of 1500.
+  The maximum value for the MTU is 16114.  Use the ifconfig command to
+  increase the MTU size.  For example:
+
+        ifconfig ethx mtu 9000 up
+
+  The maximum MTU setting for Jumbo Frames is 16114.  This value coincides
+  with the maximum Jumbo Frames size of 16128.
+
+
+  Ethtool
+  -------
+  The driver utilizes the ethtool interface for driver configuration and
+  diagnostics, as well as displaying statistical information.  Ethtool
+  version 1.6 or later is required for this functionality.
+
+  The latest release of ethtool can be found from
+  http://sourceforge.net/projects/gkernel
+
+  NOTE: Ethtool 1.6 only supports a limited set of ethtool options. Support
+        for a more complete ethtool feature set can be enabled by upgrading
+        to the latest version.
+
+
+  NAPI
+  ----
+
+  NAPI (Rx polling mode) is supported in the ixgb driver.  NAPI is enabled
+  or disabled based on the configuration of the kernel.  see CONFIG_IXGB_NAPI
+
+  See www.cyberus.ca/~hadi/usenix-paper.tgz for more information on NAPI.
+
+
+Known Issues/Troubleshooting
+============================
+
+  NOTE: After installing the driver, if your Intel Network Connection is not
+  working, verify in the "In This Release" section of the readme that you have
+  installed the correct driver.
