-The EtherWORKS 3  driver in this distribution is  designed to  work with all
-kernels   >  1.1.33   (approx)  and  includes  tools   in  the  'ewrk3tools'
-subdirectory   to  allow  set   up of   the   card,  similar  to  the  MSDOS
-'NICSETUP.EXE' tools provided on  the DOS drivers  disk (type 'make' in that
-subdirectory to make the tools).
-
-The supported  cards are DE203,  DE204 and DE205.  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]
-    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!
