Introduction:
=============

     Below are instructions for install linux driver.You must complie the source
   code to generate driver.o and use insmod to insert driver.o as module .
   You can use "netconfig" utilities to setup network parameters for the driver.


Contents of the Subdirectory:
=============================

    via926.c              The linux driver source code
    via926.o              The linux driver but maybe cannot be used in various version
    trans                 compile script :use the script to compile via926.c to via926.o
    linux.txt             This file.


Installation:
=============


    1)Now enter the following commands at the UNIX prompt.  Remember, UNIX is case sensitive.
      mkdir /temp
      mcopy a:via926.c /temp (copies from DOS disk to current working directory)
                             (mcopy is mtools if you don't have mtools,you can mount -t /dev/fd0 and use cp command)
      mcopy a:trans /temp
      cd /temp                 
      chmod 777 *            (add all right to all file)
           
    2) run trans file to complie and copy driver to linux source code:
       /temp/trans 

    3) Run netconfig to set you network parameter(like ip,gateway),This will create
       '/etc/rc.d/inet1' and 'inet2' files.

    4) you must modify /etc/rc.d/rc.inet1 to insmod driver.This file will run at boot time. 
       add a line in rc.inet1:
       cd /etc/rc.d 
       vi rc.inet1  
       insmod /your driver'path/via926.o
       ex:insmod /usr/src/linux/modules/via926.o (must before bind protocal)
       shutdown -h now    (then your driver will work every time you boot.)
       


    Note:make sure that your kernel is built with network, fast_ethernet and module
          support. Otherwise, you have to rebuild your kernel.

 	 1:go to /usr/src/linux directory
         2:run 'make menuconfig' or 'make config'
         3:mark the options list above.
         4:exit and rebuild your kernel.
           make dep;make clean;make zImage
           the file 'zImage' will be at /usr/src/linux/arch/i386/boot/zImage
         5:modify /etc/lilo.conf.(this file specify where kernel image is)
         6:run 'lilo'
