Linux
NOTES:

• This file describes the Intel(R) PRO/100 LAN Adapter driver for the Linux operating system.
  
• This package includes the source code for the PRO/100 Linux LAN Adapter driver. This driver is known to build properly on 2.2 and 2.3 series kernels up to 2.2.16 and 2.3.18. All testing by Intel has been performed on the Linux 2.2.14 kernel on systems with Intel processors. Kernels prior to 2.2.0 and Kernels beyond 2.2.16 are not supported.
  
• You will need to build a driver in order to be used with any other kernel.
  
• The PRO/100 driver is only supported as a loadable module at this time. Intel is not supplying patches against the kernel source to allow for static linking of the driver.
  
• Please refer to the documentation supplied with your PRO/100 adapter to answer any questions related to hardware requirements. All hardware requirements listed apply to use with Linux.

Building and Installation
NOTE: For the build to work properly it is important that the currently running kernel match the version and configuration of the installed kernel sources.

1. Go to the src directory (Type cd src at a prompt). The rest of the build process should be run from here.
   
2. Run make to build the driver as a loadable module.
   
3. Test the loading of the driver by running insmod e100.o.
   
4. Run make install to install the e100.o binary. The binary will be installed as: /lib/modules/[KERNEL_VERSION]/net/e100.o

Basic Configuration
Once the driver has been installed it can be loaded by running modprobe e100. This will create a new Ethernet device. For example, if no other Ethernet drivers are loaded the PRO/100 will be called eth0.
An interface can be activated and assigned an IP address by running: ifconfig ethX yyy.yyy.yyy.yyy (where ethX is the Ethernet device and yyy.yyy.yyy.yyy is the IP address).

Driver Configuration
The following parameters are used by entering them on the command line with the modprobe (or insmod) command. For example, with two PRO/100 PCI cards, entering: modprobe e100 TxDescriptors=32,128 will load the e100 driver with 32 TX resources for the first card and 128 TX resources for the second card. This configuration will favor the second card.
