+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 :
 
-  A. Compiler command:
+	dmfe: Davicom DM9xxx net driver, version 1.36.4 (2002-01-17)
 
-     A-1: For normal single or multiple processor kernel
-          "gcc -DMODULE -D__KERNEL__ -I/usr/src/linux/net/inet -Wall 
-            -Wstrict-prototypes -O6 -c dmfe.c"
+If you compiled this driver as a module, you have to load it on boot.You can load it with command :
 
-     A-2: For single or multiple processor with kernel module version function
-          "gcc -DMODULE -DMODVERSIONS -D__KERNEL__ -I/usr/src/linux/net/inet 
-            -Wall -Wstrict-prototypes -O6 -c dmfe.c"
+	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 :
 
-  B. The following steps teach you how to activate a DM9102 board:
+	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
 
-        1. Used the upper compiler command to compile dmfe.c

-        2. Insert dmfe module into kernel
-           "insmod dmfe"        ;;Auto Detection Mode (Suggest)
-           "insmod dmfe mode=0" ;;Force 10M Half Duplex
-           "insmod dmfe mode=1" ;;Force 100M Half Duplex
-           "insmod dmfe mode=4" ;;Force 10M Full Duplex

-        3. Config a dm9102 network interface
-           "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
 
-           "route add default eth0"
 
+Now your ethernet card should be up and running.
 
-        5. Well done. Your DM9102 adapter is now activated.

+- Congestion control
+- How the new TCP output machine [nyi] works
+
+Congestion control
+==================
+
+The following variables are used in the tcp_sock for congestion control:
+snd_cwnd		The size of the congestion window
+snd_ssthresh		Slow start threshold. We are in slow start if
+			snd_cwnd is less than this.
+snd_cwnd_cnt		A counter used to slow down the rate of increase
+			once we exceed slow start threshold.
+snd_cwnd_clamp		This is the maximum size that snd_cwnd can grow to.
+snd_cwnd_stamp		Timestamp for when congestion window last validated.
+snd_cwnd_used		Used as a highwater mark for how much of the
+			congestion window is in use. It is used to adjust
+			snd_cwnd down when the link is limited by the
+			application rather than the network.
+
+As of 2.6.13, Linux supports pluggable congestion control algorithms.
+A congestion control mechanism can be registered through functions in
+tcp_cong.c. The functions used by the congestion control mechanism are
+registered via passing a tcp_congestion_ops struct to
+tcp_register_congestion_control. As a minimum name, ssthresh,
+cong_avoid, min_cwnd must be valid.
 
+Private data for a congestion control mechanism is stored in tp->ca_priv.
+tcp_ca(tp) returns a pointer to this space.  This is preallocated space - it
+is important to check the size of your private data will fit this space, or
+alternatively space could be allocated elsewhere and a pointer to it could
+be stored here.
+
+There are three kinds of congestion control algorithms currently: The
+simplest ones are derived from TCP reno (highspeed, scalable) and just
+provide an alternative the congestion window calculation. More complex
+ones like BIC try to look at other events to provide better
+heuristics.  There are also round trip time based algorithms like
+Vegas and Westwood+.
+
+Good TCP congestion control is a complex problem because the algorithm
+needs to maintain fairness and performance. Please review current
+research and RFC's before developing new modules.
+
+The method that is used to determine which congestion control mechanism is
+determined by the setting of the sysctl net.ipv4.tcp_congestion_control.
+The default congestion control will be the last one registered (LIFO);
+so if you built everything as modules. the default will be reno. If you
+build with the default's from Kconfig, then BIC will be builtin (not a module)
+and it will end up the default.
+
+If you really want a particular default value then you will need
+to set it with the sysctl.  If you use a sysctl, the module will be autoloaded
+if needed and you will get the expected protocol. If you ask for an
+unknown congestion method, then the sysctl attempt will fail.
+
+If you remove a tcp congestion control module, then you will get the next
+available one. Since reno can not be built as a module, and can not be
+deleted, it will always be available.

-Linux WAN Router Utilities Package
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-Version 2.2.1 
-Mar 28, 2001
-Author: Nenad Corbic <ncorbic@sangoma.com>
-Copyright (c) 1995-2001 Sangoma Technologies Inc.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-
-INTRODUCTION
-
-Wide Area Networks (WANs) are used to interconnect Local Area Networks (LANs)
-and/or stand-alone hosts over vast distances with data transfer rates
-significantly higher than those achievable with commonly used dial-up
-connections.
-
-Usually an external device called `WAN router' sitting on your local network
-or connected to your machine's serial port provides physical connection to
-WAN.  Although router's job may be as simple as taking your local network
-traffic, converting it to WAN format and piping it through the WAN link, these
-devices are notoriously expensive, with prices as much as 2 - 5 times higher
-then the price of a typical PC box.
-
-Alternatively, considering robustness and multitasking capabilities of Linux,
-an internal router can be built (most routers use some sort of stripped down
-Unix-like operating system anyway). With a number of relatively inexpensive WAN
-interface cards available on the market, a perfectly usable router can be
-built for less than half a price of an external router.  Yet a Linux box
-acting as a router can still be used for other purposes, such as fire-walling,
-running FTP, WWW or DNS server, etc.
-
-This kernel module introduces the notion of a WAN Link Driver (WLD) to Linux
-operating system and provides generic hardware-independent services for such
-drivers.  Why can existing Linux network device interface not be used for
-this purpose?  Well, it can.  However, there are a few key differences between
-a typical network interface (e.g. Ethernet) and a WAN link.
-
-Many WAN protocols, such as X.25 and frame relay, allow for multiple logical
-connections (known as `virtual circuits' in X.25 terminology) over a single
-physical link.  Each such virtual circuit may (and almost always does) lead
-to a different geographical location and, therefore, different network.  As a
-result, it is the virtual circuit, not the physical link, that represents a
-route and, therefore, a network interface in Linux terms.
-
-To further complicate things, virtual circuits are usually volatile in nature
-(excluding so called `permanent' virtual circuits or PVCs).  With almost no
-time required to set up and tear down a virtual circuit, it is highly desirable
-to implement on-demand connections in order to minimize network charges.  So
-unlike a typical network driver, the WAN driver must be able to handle multiple
-network interfaces and cope as multiple virtual circuits come into existence
-and go away dynamically.
- 
-Last, but not least, WAN configuration is much more complex than that of say
-Ethernet and may well amount to several dozens of parameters.  Some of them
-are "link-wide"  while others are virtual circuit-specific.  The same holds
-true for WAN statistics which is by far more extensive and extremely useful
-when troubleshooting WAN connections.  Extending the ifconfig utility to suit
-these needs may be possible, but does not seem quite reasonable.  Therefore, a
-WAN configuration utility and corresponding application programmer's interface
-is needed for this purpose.
-
-Most of these problems are taken care of by this module.  Its goal is to
-provide a user with more-or-less standard look and feel for all WAN devices and
-assist a WAN device driver writer by providing common services, such as:
-
- o User-level interface via /proc file system
- o Centralized configuration
- o Device management (setup, shutdown, etc.)
- o Network interface management (dynamic creation/destruction)
- o Protocol encapsulation/decapsulation
-
-To ba able to use the Linux WAN Router you will also need a WAN Tools package
-available from
-
-	ftp.sangoma.com/pub/linux/current_wanpipe/wanpipe-X.Y.Z.tgz
-
-where vX.Y.Z represent the wanpipe version number.

-ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS
-
-This product is based on the WANPIPE(tm) Multiprotocol WAN Router developed
-by Sangoma Technologies Inc. for Linux 2.0.x and 2.2.x.  Success of the WANPIPE
-together with the next major release of Linux kernel in summer 1996 commanded
-adequate changes to the WANPIPE code to take full advantage of new Linux
-features.
-
-Instead of continuing developing proprietary interface tied to Sangoma WAN
-cards, we decided to separate all hardware-independent code into a separate
-module and defined two levels of interfaces - one for user-level applications
-and another for kernel-level WAN drivers.  WANPIPE is now implemented as a
-WAN driver compliant with the WAN Link Driver interface.  Also a general
-purpose WAN configuration utility and a set of shell scripts was developed to 
-support WAN router at the user level.
-
-Many useful ideas concerning hardware-independent interface implementation
-were given by Mike McLagan <mike.mclagan@linux.org> and his implementation
-of the Frame Relay router and drivers for Sangoma cards (dlci/sdla).
-
-With the new implementation of the APIs being incorporated into the WANPIPE,

-				  configurator.
-				o Architectual directory changes.
-
-beta-2.1.4 Jul 2000		o Dynamic interface configuration:
-					Network interfaces reflect the state
-					of protocol layer.  If the protocol becomes
-					disconnected, driver will bring down
-					the interface.  Once the protocol reconnects
-					the interface will be brought up. 
-					
-					Note: This option is turned off by default.
-
-				o Dynamic wanrouter setup using 'wanconfig':
-					wanconfig utility can be used to
-					shutdown,restart,start or reconfigure 
-					a virtual circuit dynamically.
-				     
-					Frame Relay:  Each DLCI can be: 
-						      created,stopped,restarted and reconfigured
-						      dynamically using wanconfig.
-					
-						      ex: wanconfig card wanpipe1 dev wp1_fr16 up
-				  
-				o Wanrouter startup via command line arguments:
-					wanconfig also supports wanrouter startup via command line
-					arguments.  Thus, there is no need to create a wanpipe#.conf
-					configuration file.  
-
-				o Socket based x25api update/bug fixes.
-					Added support for LCN numbers greater than 255.
-					Option to pass up modem messages.
-					Provided a PCI IRQ check, so a single S514
-					card is guaranteed to have a non-sharing interrupt.
-
-				o Fixes to the wancfg utility.
-				o New FT1 debugging support via *pipemon utilities.
-				o Frame Relay ARP support Enabled.
-
-beta3-2.1.4 Jul 2000		o X25 M_BIT Problem fix.
-				o Added the Multi-Port PPP
-				  Updated utilites for the Multi-Port PPP.
-
-2.1.4	Aut 2000
-				o In X25API:
-					Maximum packet an application can send
-					to the driver has been extended to 4096 bytes.
-
-					Fixed the x25 startup bug. Enable 
-					communications only after all interfaces
-					come up.  HIGH SVC/PVC is used to calculate
-					the number of channels.
-					Enable protocol only after all interfaces
-					are enabled.
-
-				o Added an extra state to the FT1 config, kernel module.
-				o Updated the pipemon debuggers.
-
-				o Blocked the Multi-Port PPP from running on kernels
-				  2.2.16 or greater, due to syncppp kernel module
-				  change. 
-	  
-beta1-2.1.5 	Nov 15 2000
-				o Fixed the MulitPort PPP Support for kernels 2.2.16 and above.
-				  2.2.X kernels only
-
-				o Secured the driver UDP debugging calls
-					- All illegal netowrk debugging calls are reported to
-					  the log.
-					- Defined a set of allowed commands, all other denied.
-					
-				o Cpipemon
-					- Added set FT1 commands to the cpipemon. Thus CSU/DSU
-					  configuraiton can be performed using cpipemon.
-					  All systems that cannot run cfgft1 GUI utility should
-					  use cpipemon to configure the on board CSU/DSU.
-
-
-				o Keyboard Led Monitor/Debugger
-					- A new utilty /usr/sbin/wpkbdmon uses keyboard leds
-					  to convey operatinal statistic information of the 
-					  Sangoma WANPIPE cards.
-					NUM_LOCK    = Line State  (On=connected,    Off=disconnected)
-					CAPS_LOCK   = Tx data     (On=transmitting, Off=no tx data)
-					SCROLL_LOCK = Rx data     (On=receiving,    Off=no rx data
-					
-				o Hardware probe on module load and dynamic device allocation
-					- During WANPIPE module load, all Sangoma cards are probed
-					  and found information is printed in the /var/log/messages.
-					- If no cards are found, the module load fails.
-					- Appropriate number of devices are dynamically loaded 
-					  based on the number of Sangoma cards found.
-
-					  Note: The kernel configuraiton option 
-						CONFIG_WANPIPE_CARDS has been taken out.
-					
-				o Fixed the Frame Relay and Chdlc network interfaces so they are
-				  compatible with libpcap libraries.  Meaning, tcpdump, snort,
-				  ethereal, and all other packet sniffers and debuggers work on
-				  all WANPIPE netowrk interfaces.
-					- Set the network interface encoding type to ARPHRD_PPP.
-					  This tell the sniffers that data obtained from the
-					  network interface is in pure IP format.
-				  Fix for 2.2.X kernels only.
-				
-				o True interface encoding option for Frame Relay and CHDLC
-					- The above fix sets the network interface encoding
-					  type to ARPHRD_PPP, however some customers use
-					  the encoding interface type to determine the
-					  protocol running.  Therefore, the TURE ENCODING
-					  option will set the interface type back to the
-					  original value.  
-
-					  NOTE: If this option is used with Frame Relay and CHDLC
-						libpcap library support will be broken.  
-						i.e. tcpdump will not work.
-					Fix for 2.2.x Kernels only.
-						
-				o Ethernet Bridgind over Frame Relay
-					- The Frame Relay bridging has been developed by 
-					  Kristian Hoffmann and Mark Wells.  
-					- The Linux kernel bridge is used to send ethernet 
-					  data over the frame relay links.
-					For 2.2.X Kernels only.
-
-				o Added extensive 2.0.X support. Most new features of
-				  2.1.5 for protocols Frame Relay, PPP and CHDLC are
-				  supported under 2.0.X kernels. 
-
-beta1-2.2.0 	Dec 30 2000
-				o Updated drivers for 2.4.X kernels.
-				o Updated drivers for SMP support.
-				o X25API is now able to share PCI interrupts.
-				o Took out a general polling routine that was used
-				  only by X25API. 
-				o Added appropriate locks to the dynamic reconfiguration
-				  code.
-				o Fixed a bug in the keyboard debug monitor.
-
-beta2-2.2.0	Jan 8 2001
-				o Patches for 2.4.0 kernel
-				o Patches for 2.2.18 kernel
-				o Minor updates to PPP and CHLDC drivers.
-				  Note: No functinal difference. 
-
-beta3-2.2.9	Jan 10 2001
-				o I missed the 2.2.18 kernel patches in beta2-2.2.0
-				  release.  They are included in this release.
-
-Stable Release
-2.2.0		Feb 01 2001
-				o Bug fix in wancfg GUI configurator.
-					The edit function didn't work properly.
-
-
-bata1-2.2.1	Feb 09 2001
-			o WANPIPE TTY Driver emulation. 
-			  Two modes of operation Sync and Async.
-				Sync: Using the PPPD daemon, kernel SyncPPP layer
-				      and the Wanpipe sync TTY driver: a PPP protocol 
-				      connection can be established via Sangoma adapter, over
-				      a T1 leased line.
-			
-				      The 2.4.0 kernel PPP layer supports MULTILINK
-				      protocol, that can be used to bundle any number of Sangoma
-				      adapters (T1 lines) into one, under a single IP address.
-				      Thus, efficiently obtaining multiple T1 throughput. 
-
-				      NOTE: The remote side must also implement MULTILINK PPP
-					    protocol.
-
-				Async:Using the PPPD daemon, kernel AsyncPPP layer
-				      and the WANPIPE async TTY driver: a PPP protocol
-				      connection can be established via Sangoma adapter and
-				      a modem, over a telephone line.
-
-				      Thus, the WANPIPE async TTY driver simulates a serial
-				      TTY driver that would normally be used to interface the 
-				      MODEM to the linux kernel.
-				
-			o WANPIPE PPP Backup Utility
-				This utility will monitor the state of the PPP T1 line.
-				In case of failure, a dial up connection will be established
-				via pppd daemon, ether via a serial tty driver (serial port), 
-				or a WANPIPE async TTY driver (in case serial port is unavailable).
-				
-				Furthermore, while in dial up mode, the primary PPP T1 link
-				will be monitored for signs of life.  
-
-				If the PPP T1 link comes back to life, the dial up connection
-				will be shutdown and T1 line re-established.
-			
-
-			o New Setup installation script.
-				Option to UPGRADE device drivers if the kernel source has
-				already been patched with WANPIPE.
-
-				Option to COMPILE WANPIPE modules against the currently 
-				running kernel, thus no need for manual kernel and module
-				re-compilatin.
-			
-			o Updates and Bug Fixes to wancfg utility.
-
-bata2-2.2.1	Feb 20 2001
-
-			o Bug fixes to the CHDLC device drivers.
-				The driver had compilation problems under kernels
-				2.2.14 or lower.
-
-			o Bug fixes to the Setup installation script.
-				The device drivers compilation options didn't work
-				properly.
-
-			o Update to the wpbackupd daemon.  
-				Optimized the cross-over times, between the primary
-				link and the backup dialup.
-
-beta3-2.2.1	Mar 02 2001
-			o Patches for 2.4.2 kernel.
-
-			o Bug fixes to util/ make files.
-			o Bug fixes to the Setup installation script.
-
-			o Took out the backupd support and made it into
-			  as separate package.
-			  
-beta4-2.2.1     Mar 12 2001
-
-		o Fix to the Frame Relay Device driver.
-			IPSAC sends a packet of zero length
-			header to the frame relay driver.  The
-			driver tries to push its own 2 byte header
-			into the packet, which causes the driver to
-			crash.
-
-		o Fix the WANPIPE re-configuration code.
-			Bug was found by trying to run  the cfgft1 while the
-			interface was already running.  
-
-		o Updates to cfgft1.
-			Writes a wanpipe#.cfgft1 configuration file
-			once the CSU/DSU is configured. This file can
-			holds the current CSU/DSU configuration.
