Linux-2.6.12-rc2v2.6.12-rc2

Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history,
even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git
archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about
3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early
git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good
infrastructure for it.

Let it rip!

+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]
+          [Adam Kropelin: Multiple cards now supported by irq=x1,x2 io=y1,y2]
+    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!
