+Installation Directions:
+
+EMail me (becker@super.org) telling me you've gotten the "experimental
+drivers".  I need to know how many people have tried, succeeded and
+failed before this is released as part of the official Linux.
+
+Use Linux 0.99.2 or later.  Make certain you can make a working kernel
+_before_ you install the ethercard driver.
+
+Put the all of the files into linux/net/tcp/.  You'll need
+GNUmakefile 8390.c 8390.h Space.c wd.c ne.c 3c503.c 3c503reg.h  and hp.c.
+Space.c is the only tricky one -- it overwrites the old Space.c.
+Stock versions of Space.c leave the "we" driver enabled and will not work.
+
+Change the GNUmakefile to reflect your configuration.  Use the guide at
+the end of these instructions.
+
+Make and install your new kernel.
+
+To actually use this driver you must get the TCP/IP package and edit
+your /usr/etc/inet/rc.net file to config "eth_if" instead of
+"eth0" (the WD8003).  (Alternately you can edit the GNUmakefile to use the
+"eth0" name.)
+
+If you try to 'config' an interface that doesn't exist your kernel
+will report "invalid ioctl()" for anthing that tries to use the card.
+Note that the ethercard devices aren't (yet) real '/dev/eth_if' devices --
+they only exist in the socket namespace and thus you don't need to
+'mknode' them.
+
+________________
+Important defines
+
+For Space.c
+#define EI8390 0x300		/* The base address of your ethercard.	*/
+#define EI8390_IRQ 5		/* and the interrupt you want to use.	*/
+
+For 8390.c
+#define EI_DEBUG 2		/* Use '0' for no messages.		*/
+#define EL2			/* For the 3c503 driver.		*/
+#define NE2000			/* For the NE1000/NE2000/Ctron driver.	*/
+#define WD80x3			/* For the WD8003/WD8013 driver.	*/
+#define HPLAN			/* For the HP27xxx driver.		*/
+
+For the individual drivers
+#undef  EI_8BIT			/* Define for ne.c iff you have an 8 bit card.*/
+#undef	EI8390_THICK		/* Define for 3c503 AUI/DIX transceiver.*/
+
+EI8390	Define (probably in autoconf.h or config.site.h) this to the base
+	address	of your ethernet card.
+EI8390_IRQ Define (probably in autoconf.h or config.site.h) this to the
+	IRQ line of your ethernet card.  Most drivers convert a IRQ2 to an
+	IRQ9 for you, so don't be surprised.
+EI_DEBUG   Set to the desired numeric debugging level.  Use 3 or
+	greater when actively debugging a problem, '1' for a
+	casual interest in what's going on, and '0' for normal
+	use. (Most of the debugging stuff has been taken out recently,
+	so this won't have much effect.)
+EI_PINGPONG
+	Not included or broken the alpha version.  Define this if you want
+	ping-pong transmit buffers.
+EI_8BIT
+	If you are using the ne.c driver and have an 8-bit card (NE1000 or
+	E1xxx Cabletron) you must define this. It's not needed for the other
+	drivers, and I hope to find a way to clean this up in the future.
+EI8390_THICK
+	Define for this if you are using the 3c503 and use the AUI/DIX
+	connector rather than the built-in thin-net transceiver.
+
+If you have a Cabletron ethercard you might want to look at ne.c:neprobe()
+for info on how to enable more packet buffer space.
+
+ETHERLINK1_IRQ
+ETHERLINK1 Define these to the base address and IRQ of a 3c501 (NOT 3c503)
+	card. Refer to net/tcp/Space.c.
