   1                 Tulip Ethernet Card Driver
   2
   3 The Tulip driver is developed by Donald Becker and changed by
   4 Takashi Manabe. This driver is designed to work with PCI Ethernet
   5 cards which use the DECchip DC21x4x family. This driver hopefully
   6 works with all of 1.2.x and 1.3.x kernels, but I tested only
   7 with 1.2.13, 1.3.39, 1.3.49, 1.3.52, 1.3.57 and later.
   8
   9 Hopefully, the de4x5.c driver will support all cards supported
  10 by the tulip.c driver. However, the SMC's 9332dst card and some
  11 cards do not work with the de4x5.c driver. So, if your card is
  12 not a 9332dst, please try the de4x5.c driver first.

  51 Known bug(s)
  52 ============
  53 This driver's media detection is very simple and sometimes
  54 it causes serious problem. The driver automatically switches
  55 media when it causes timeout. If you want to specify or to fix
  56 a media;
  57
  58 - Modify TULIP_PORT in tulip.c, line 33.
  59 - Uncomment the definition of TULIP_FIX_PORT in tulip.c, line 40.
  60
  61 or
  62
  63 - Use patched ifconfig command and specify 'link='. The patch
  64   against ifconfig.c in net-tools-1.3.50-BETA6e is included in
  65   this file.
