	Now dm9000x.c is for kernel 2.4.x.
	    dm9000.c  is for kernel 2.2.x.    

  A. Compiler command:

     A-1: For normal single processor kernel
          "gcc -DMODULE -D__KERNEL__ -I/usr/src/linux/include -Wall 
            -Wstrict-prototypes -O6 -c dm9000x.c"

     A-2: For single processor and set version info on all module symbol
          "gcc -DMODULE -DMODVERSIONS -D__KERNEL__ -I/usr/src/linux/include
            -Wall -Wstrict-prototypes -O6 -c dm9000x.c"

     A-3: For multiple processors(SMP) and set ver. info. on all module symbol
          "gcc -D__SMP__ -DMODULE -DMODVERSIONS -D__KERNEL__ -I/usr/src/linux
           /include -Wall -Wstrict-prototypes -O6 -c dm9000x.c"

     	Note: O of -O6 is a capital "o", not a "0".
	    

  B. How to compile driver 
  
     B-1: Login by supervisor
     B-2: Copy dm9000x.c and Makefile into your HD. You can make a new directoty
          to put.
     B-3: Keep driver source file name as "dm9000x.c" and makefile name as 
	  "Makefile"
     B-4: You can type the following command to compile driver. Please according
     	  to your system to pick one.
     		make org	;;Without SMP support 
     		make mod	;;Set version info on all module symbol
     		make smp	;;symmetric multi-processing(SMP) support
     		make smp_mod	;;SMP & Set version info on module

     	  Or you can type above compiler command to compile driver.
     		
     	  Note: Please check you must have the right kernel source on 
     	      "/usr/src/linux".


  C. The following steps teach you how to activate NIC:

     C-1: A simple and temporary method

        1. Used the upper compiler command to compile dm9000.c

        2. Insert DM9000 module into kernel
           "insmod dm9000x.o"           ;;Auto Detection Mode (Suggest)
           "insmod dm9000x.o mode=0"    ;;Force 10M Half Duplex
           "insmod dm9000x.o mode=1"    ;;Force 100M Half Duplex
           "insmod dm9000x.o mode=4"    ;;Force 10M Full Duplex
           "insmod dm9000x.o mode=5"    ;;Force 100M Full Duplex
           "insmod dm9000x.o mode=0x10" ;;Force 1M HomePNA
           "insmod dm9000x.o SF_mode=1" ;;VLAN Enable
           "insmod dm9000x.o SF_mode=2" ;;Flow Control Enable
           "insmod dm9000x.o SF_mode=4" ;;TX Pause Packet Enable

	   NOTE:1. SF_mode can be a combination of 3 special mode.
		2. You can type "man insmod" to see more description.

        3. Config a DM9000 network interface
           "ifconfig eth0 172.22.3.18"
                          ^^^^^^^^^^^ Your IP address

	   NOTE: 1. You can type "man ifconfig" to see more description.
		 2. If eth0 has been used, you should use eth1 instead. 

        4. Activate the IP routing table. For some distributions, it is not
           necessary. You can type "route" to check.

           "route add default netmask 255.255.255.0 eth0"

	   NOTE: 1. You can type "man route" to see more description.
		 2. If eth0 has been used, you should use eth1 instead.


        5. Well done. Your DM9000 adapter actived now.

	Note. This is a temporary method. After you reboot the system, you
	      will lost the setting.


     C-2: For Redhat, You can use the following to Activate NIC
	
	1.  login your system used the superuser.
	2.  copy dm9000x.o into	/lib/modules/2.4.x/kernel/drivers/net/
	3.  add the new line with "alias eth0 dm9000x" in "/etc/module.conf". 
	4.  execute "netconfig -d eth0".
	5.  Fill your IP address, netmask and gateway
	6.  press <ok> to confirm and exit this setting
	7   reboot

	Note: If eth0 has been used, you should use eth1 instead of eth0.
