net: documentation: build a directory structure for drivers
Documentation/networking/ is full of cryptically named files with driver documentation. This makes finding interesting information at a glance really hard. Move all those files into a directory called device_drivers (since not all drivers are for device) and fix up references. RFC v0.1 -> RFC v1: - also add .txt suffix to the files which are missing it (Quentin) Signed-off-by: Jakub Kicinski <jakub.kicinski@netronome.com> Reviewed-by: Quentin Monnet <quentin.monnet@netronome.com> Acked-by: David Ahern <dsahern@gmail.com> Acked-by: Henrik Austad <henrik@austad.us> Signed-off-by: David S.

-This driver provides kernel support for Davicom DM9102(A)/DM9132/DM9801 ethernet cards ( CNET
-10/100 ethernet cards uses Davicom chipset too, so this driver supports CNET cards too ).If you
-didn't compile this driver as a module, it will automatically load itself on boot and print a
-line similar to :
-
- dmfe: Davicom DM9xxx net driver, version 1.36.4 (2002-01-17)
-
-If you compiled this driver as a module, you have to load it on boot.You can load it with command :
-
- insmod dmfe
-
-This way it will autodetect the device mode.This is the suggested way to load the module.Or you can pass
-a mode= setting to module while loading, like :
-
- insmod dmfe mode=0 # Force 10M Half Duplex
- insmod dmfe mode=1 # Force 100M Half Duplex
- insmod dmfe mode=4 # Force 10M Full Duplex
- insmod dmfe mode=5 # Force 100M Full Duplex
-
-Next you should configure your network interface with a command similar to :
-
- ifconfig eth0 172.22.3.18
- ^^^^^^^^^^^
- Your IP Address
-
-Then you may have to modify the default routing table with command :
-
- route add default eth0
-
-
-Now your ethernet card should be up and running.
-
-
-TODO:
-
-Implement pci_driver::suspend() and pci_driver::resume() power management methods.
-Check on 64 bit boxes.
-Check and fix on big endian boxes.
-Test and make sure PCI latency is now correct for all cases.
