NAME
       pcnet_cs - Generic NS8390-based PCMCIA Ethernet Driver

SYNOPSIS
       insmod    pcnet_cs.o    [pc_debug=n]    [irq_list=i,j,...]
       [if_port=n] [use_big_buf=n] [mem_speed=n] [delay_output=n]
       [delay_time=n] [hw_addr=n,n,n,n,n,n]

DESCRIPTION
       Pcnet_cs  is a driver for all NS8390-based PCMCIA ethernet
       cards.  It can use either polled IO  or  a  shared  memory
       window  to  exchange data with the card.  The driver first
       tests for a shared memory buffer, falling back  on  polled
       IO if the memory test fails.  It replaces the de650_cs and
       ibmcc_cs drivers in previous releases.  When  this  driver
       is bound to a card, it allocates the next available ether-
       net  device  (eth0..eth#).   This  device  name  will   be
       reported  in  the  kernel log file, and passed on to card-
       mgr(r).

PARAMETERS
       pc_debug=n
              Selects the PCMCIA debugging level.  This parameter
              is  only  available  if the module is compiled with
              debugging enabled.  A non-zero value enables debug-
              ging.

       irq_list=i,j,...
              Specifies  the  set of interrupts that may be allo-
              cated by this driver.

       if_port=n
              Selects the transceiver type, for Socket EA and IBM
              CCAE  cards.  1 is 10baseT (twisted pair), and 2 is
              10base2 (BNC, or  thin  net).   The  default  is  1
              (10baseT).

       use_big_buf=n
              For  Socket  EA  cards,  a  flag  indicating if the
              driver should use the large  (64K)  packet  buffer.
              The default is 1 (true).

       mem_speed=n
              Sets  the access speed of the shared memory window,
              in nanoseconds.  The default is 0 (i.e.,  no  extra
              wait states).  Values of up to 1000 are legal.

       delay_output=n
              Specifies  that  a delay should be inserted after a
              polled IO block  output.   This  is  turned  on  by
              default for Accton and Socket EA cards.

       delay_time=n
              Specifies  the length of the delay_output delay, in
              microseconds.  The default is 4.

       hw_addr=n,n,n,n,n,n
              For cards whose hardware ethernet  addresses  can't
              be identified by the current driver, this is a hack
              for hardwiring a specific  address.   The  argument
              should  consist  of exactly six byte-sized numbers,
              separated by commas, with no spaces.   Numbers  may
              be in decimal or hex ('0xNN').
