+SMC 9xxxx Driver 
+Revision 0.12 
+3/5/96
+Copyright 1996  Erik Stahlman 
+Released under terms of the GNU public license. 
+
+This file contains the instructions and caveats for my SMC9xxx driver.  You
+should not be using the driver without reading this file.  
+
+Things to note about installation:
+
+  1. The driver should work on all kernels from 1.2.13 until 1.3.71.
+	(A kernel patch is supplied for 1.3.71 )
+
+  2. If you include this into the kernel, you might need to change some
+	options, such as for forcing IRQ.   
+
+ 
+  3.  To compile as a module, run 'make' .   
+	Make will give you the appropriate options for various kernel support.
+ 
+  4.  Loading the driver as a module :
+
+	use:   insmod smc9194.o 
+	optional parameters:
+		io=xxxx    : your base address
+		irq=xx	   : your irq 
+		ifport=x   :	0 for whatever is default
+				1 for twisted pair
+				2 for AUI  ( or BNC on some cards )
+
+How to obtain the latest version?
