Nuke these two out of date readme files. This stuff should be in de(4)
man pages rather than hidden here anyway.

THIS FILE IS SERIOUSLY OUT OF DATE AND NO LONGER REFLECTS
|
||||
REALITY. THE ULTIMATE REFERENCE IS THE SOURCE CODE ITSELF.
|
||||
rgrimes@FreeBSD.org
|
||||
----------------
|
||||
|
||||
The enclosed driver should be considered as beta-test software. It
|
||||
has run on exactly one machine. Therefore testing has been limited.
|
||||
This driver is in no way supported by Digital Equipment. See the
|
||||
disclaimers in the sources for more.
|
||||
|
||||
This driver the DEC DE435 PCI NIC. It should also work with other PCI
|
||||
boards that use the 21040-AA chip (also known as TULIP). This
|
||||
driver requires the 21040-AA to be pass 2.3 or later. If you are
|
||||
using a eariler pass chip, you may encounter undetected transmit
|
||||
corruptions. This driver also requires that 21040-AA use a serial
|
||||
Ethernet address ROM as described in the 21040 specification.
|
||||
|
||||
The DEC DE425 EISA NIC based on the 21040-AA is not support at
|
||||
this time. A future update will include support for it.
|
||||
|
||||
The driver includes full support for both BPF and IP Multicast.
|
||||
If the autosensing of the driver fails, you can use ifconfig(8) to
|
||||
switch the driver to the correct port.
|
||||
|
||||
ifconfig de0 altphys Thinwire/AUI port
|
||||
ifconfig de0 -altphys 10baseT/UTP port
|
||||
|
||||
To enable this driver, you first need to add the following lines to
|
||||
your config file (in i386/conf):
|
||||
|
||||
controller pci0
|
||||
device de0
|
||||
|
||||
The PCI support code will automatically determine and enable the
|
||||
correct IRQ.
|
||||
|
||||
Now you are ready to rebuild your kernel, reboot, and see if the
|
||||
driver can configure your board. When the system boots, you will
|
||||
hopefully something close to:
|
||||
|
||||
de0 <digital 21040 ethernet> int a irq 9 on pci0:7
|
||||
reg20: virtual=0xf290a000 physical=0xc0001000
|
||||
de0: enabling Thinwire/AUI port
|
||||
de0: 21040 [10Mb/s] pass 2.3 ethernet address 08:00:2b:e2:1e:09
|
||||
bpf: de0 attached
|
||||
|
||||
in the startup log. If so, the board configured properly and
|
||||
should be ready to use.

The enclosed drivers should be considered beta-test software. These

disclaimers in the sources for more information. Please be aware that
|

Digital does not employee me to write drivers for FreeBSD.
|

|
||||
This kit contains one driver:
|
||||
|
||||
de DEC DE435 PCI NIC or compatible
|
||||
|
||||
See README.de for information and installation instruction specific to this
|
||||
driver.
|
||||
|
||||
Could you please send me the startup messages in the boot
|
||||
long along with the type of your PC once the driver configures?
|
||||
|
||||
If you have any problems, comments, suggestions, rant or raves, don't
|
||||
hesitate to send me mail @ thomas@lkg.dec.com.
|
||||
|
||||
Lastly, if you change or modify the code, I want context diffs of your
|
||||
changes. I want this to the canonical DEC EtherWORKS driver kit for
|
||||
FreeBSD, NetBSD, BSD/386, and any other BSD based O/S. Please make
|
||||
sure your diffs are approriate conditionalized.
