30) Get rid of kernel_getsockopt and kernel_setsockopt in order to
eliminate set_fs/get_fs calls. From Christoph Hellwig.

Overview +=========== + +This README explains how to use the driver 'skfp' for Linux with your +network adapter. + +Chapter 2: Contains a list of all network adapters that are supported by +this driver. + +Chapter 3: + Gives some general information. + +Chapter 4: Describes common problems and solutions. + +Chapter 5: Shows the changed functionality of the adapter LEDs. + +Chapter 6: History of development. + + +2. Supported adapters +===================== + +The network driver 'skfp' supports the following network adapters: +SysKonnect adapters: + + - SK-5521 (SK-NET FDDI-UP) + - SK-5522 (SK-NET FDDI-UP DAS) + - SK-5541 (SK-NET FDDI-FP) + - SK-5543 (SK-NET FDDI-LP) + - SK-5544 (SK-NET FDDI-LP DAS) + - SK-5821 (SK-NET FDDI-UP64) + - SK-5822 (SK-NET FDDI-UP64 DAS) + - SK-5841 (SK-NET FDDI-FP64) + - SK-5843 (SK-NET FDDI-LP64) + - SK-5844 (SK-NET FDDI-LP64 DAS) + +Compaq adapters (not tested): + + - Netelligent 100 FDDI DAS Fibre SC + - Netelligent 100 FDDI SAS Fibre SC + - Netelligent 100 FDDI DAS UTP + - Netelligent 100 FDDI SAS UTP + - Netelligent 100 FDDI SAS Fibre MIC + + +3. General Information +====================== + +From v2.01 on, the driver is integrated in the linux kernel sources. +Therefore, the installation is the same as for any other adapter +supported by the kernel. + +Refer to the manual of your distribution about the installation +of network adapters. + +Makes my life much easier :-) + +4. Troubleshooting +================== + +If you run into problems during installation, check those items: + +Problem: + The FDDI adapter cannot be found by the driver. + +Reason: + Look in /proc/pci for the following entry: + + 'FDDI network controller: SysKonnect SK-FDDI-PCI ...' + + If this entry exists, then the FDDI adapter has been + found by the system and should be able to be used. + + If this entry does not exist or if the file '/proc/pci' + is not there, then you may have a hardware problem or PCI + support may not be enabled in your kernel. + + The adapter can be checked using the diagnostic program + which is available from the SysKonnect web site: + + www.syskonnect.de + + Some COMPAQ machines have a problem with PCI under + Linux. This is described in the 'PCI howto' document + (included in some distributions or available from the + www, e.g. at 'www.linux.org') and no workaround is available. + +Problem: + You want to use your computer as a router between + multiple IP subnetworks (using multiple adapters), but + you cannot reach computers in other subnetworks. + +Reason: + Either the router's kernel is not configured for IP + forwarding or there is a problem with the routing table + and gateway configuration in at least one of the + computers. + +If your problem is not listed here, please contact our +technical support for help. + +You can send email to: linux@syskonnect.de + +When contacting our technical support, +please ensure that the following information is available: + +- System Manufacturer and Model +- Boards in your system +- Distribution +- Kernel version + + +5. Function of the Adapter LEDs +=============================== + + The functionality of the LED's on the FDDI network adapters was + changed in SMT version v2.82. With this new SMT version, the yellow + LED works as a ring operational indicator. An active yellow LED + indicates that the ring is down. The green LED on the adapter now + works as a link indicator where an active GREEN LED indicates that + the respective port has a physical connection. + + With versions of SMT prior to v2.82 a ring up was indicated if the + yellow LED was off while the green LED(s) showed the connection + status of the adapter. During a ring down the green LED was off and + the yellow LED was on. + + All implementations indicate that a driver is not loaded if + all LEDs are off. + + +6.
