tulip.o         Driver object file for Linux v2.0.34.
--------------------------------------------------------------------

A. Introduction.
----------------
    This is a Linux driver for Network Everywhere Fast Ethernet
    Adapters whose released version is 1.0. It is installed by "insmod"
    and configured by using "ifconfig" & "route" command. These two
    commands exist in the directory "sbin"

    The Linux driver requires the following hardware and software:

    - Network Everywhere Fast Ethernet Adapters.

    - Linux OS.


B. Installation Procedure.
--------------------------

1. Boot the Linux OS v2.0.34. or above, and change to the driver
   directory "/usr/src/linux/drivers/net, and then get tulip.c
   by using "ftp" get command from the ftp driver address
   "ftp://cesdis.gsfc.nasa.gov/pub/linux/drivers"

2. Compile the source code by using "gcc -DMODULE -D__KERNEL__
   -I/usr/src/linux/net/inet -Wall -Wstrict-prototypes -O6
   -c tulip.c `[ -f /usr/include/linux/modversions.h ] &&
   echo -DMODVERSIONS`" or get the object file directly from
   the /LINUX directory of the driver disk. (You can use command
   "mount /dev/fd0 /mnt; cp /mnt/linux/tulip.o /usr/src/linux/drivers/net"
   to get this object file "tulip.o")

3. Insert the driver object file "tulip.o" as module by usnig
   command "insmod tulip.o". You can run "lsmod" to see if the
   module "tulip.o" is inserted.

4. Config IP parameters to the lan card by using "netconfig"
   commnad.

5. To active the adapter you can use the command "inetd" or just
   add a line "insmod tulip.o' at the beginnig of "/etc/rd.d/rc.inet1"
   to let the adapter active every time the system booting.

6. If you encounter any problems during installation, (i.e., an error
   message appears on screen) call your dealer for assistance.

Note:
     Please make sure the kernel is built with "network, ethernet,
     and module" option support. Otherwise, you have to rebuild
     your kernel by doing the following actions.

     1: Change to /usr/src/linux directory

     2: Run "make menuconfig" or "make config"

     3: Select the options just mentioned above
        and exit.

     4: Now rebuild your kernel by using the following command
        "make dep;make clean;make zImage".

        The file "zImage" will be found at the linux directory
        "/usr/src/linux/arch/i386/boot/zImage".

     5: Modify /etc/lilo.conf to set the new path of kernel image.
        (As usual this file will specify where kernel image is)

     6: Run 'lilo' to install the new boot loader.
