Before Installation
-------------------
    Before you start rebuilding the driver, you must have PCMCIA binaries and
    source installed in your system. PCMCIA module version 3.0.9 or
    later are quaranteed to work well with this driver.

    Latest version of PCMCIA module is available in
    ftp://projects.sourceforge.net/pcmcia-cs. 

    Also, if you have just rebuilt your kernel, you must first rebuild PCMCIA
    then the device driver to avoid any inconsistency.

    When you are rebuilding PCMCIA modules, be sure you select the following
    item:

    (1) Read from the currently running kernel.

    Otherwise, you might encounter some problems with when module version is
    set.

Install Driver
--------------

 1. Login as root.
 
 2. To copy the driver code from the Installation diskette, simply do 
    
    > mcopy a:Linux/fpc-0105tx-v1.44.tgz . 
    > gzip -cd fpc-0105tx-v1.44.tgz | tar xvf -
    > cd fpc-0105tx-v1.44 
 
 3. To generate the driver
 
    Modify the PCMCIASRC variable in your makefile to the location of your 
    PCMCIA source.
    
    Modify the KERN_VER variable in your makefile.
    
    After you finish the modification of variables in your makefile, you can
    rebuild the driver by doing

    > make 
 
 4. To install the driver
 
    > make install

 5. To configure the LevelOne 10/100Mbps 16bit Fast Ethernet
 
    > cd /etc/pcmcia
    
    To add the following text into the "config" file (The mode of the "config"
    file must be the "write" mode.)
    
    > vi config
    
    card "LevelOne 10/100Mbps 16bit Fast Ethernet PCMCIA"
       version "LevelOne", "10/100Mbps 16bit Fast Ethernet PCMCIA"
       bind "pcnet_cs"
    
    or

    card "LevelOne 10/100Mbps 16bit Fast Ethernet"
       manfid 0x0274, 0x1103 
       bind "pcnet_cs"
    
    To configure the PCMCIA NIC interface
    
    > vi network.opts
     
 6. To reboot the Linux
    
    > shutdown -r now
