Almost all information in this file is now obsolete. Writing a new driver

should, with the new build system, just be a case of writing the .c file
and dropping it in place in drivers/net.  :)

-How I added the SIS900 card to Etherboot
-
-Author: Marty Connor (mdc@thinguin.org)

-Date:   25 Febrary 2001

-Description:
-
-This file is intended to help people who want to write an Etherboot
-driver or port another driver to Etherboot.  It is a starting point.
-Perhaps someday I may write a more detailed description of writing an
-Etherboot driver. This text should help get people started, and
-studying sis900.[ch] should help show the basic structure and
-techniques involved in writing and Etherboot driver.

-0. Back up all the files I need to modify:
-
-cd etherboot-4.7.20/src
-cp Makefile Makefile.orig
-cp config.c config.c.orig
-cp pci.h pci.h.orig
-cp NIC NIC.orig
-cp cards.h cards.h.orig
-
-1. Edit src/Makefile to add SIS900FLAGS to defines
-
-SIS900FLAGS=	       	-DINCLUDE_SIS900
-
-2. edit src/pci.h to add PCI signatures for card
-
-#define PCI_VENDOR_ID_SIS         	0x1039
-#define PCI_DEVICE_ID_SIS900     	0x0900   
-#define PCI_DEVICE_ID_SIS7016    	0x7016  
-
-3. Edit src/config.c to add the card to the card probe list
-
-#if defined(INCLUDE_NS8390)  || defined(INCLUDE_EEPRO100)  || 
-    defined(INCLUDE_LANCE)   || defined(INCLUDE_EPIC100)   || 
-    defined(INCLUDE_TULIP)   || defined(INCLUDE_OTULIP)    ||
-    defined(INCLUDE_3C90X)   || defined(INCLUDE_3C595)     ||
-    defined(INCLUDE_RTL8139) || defined(INCLUDE_VIA_RHINE) || 
-    defined(INCLUDE_SIS900)  || defined(INCLUDE_W89C840)
-
-... and ...
-
-#ifdef INCLUDE_SIS900
-       { PCI_VENDOR_ID_SIS,     	PCI_DEVICE_ID_SIS900,
-         "SIS900", 0, 0, 0, 0},
-       { PCI_VENDOR_ID_SIS,     	PCI_DEVICE_ID_SIS7016,
-	 "SIS7016", 0, 0, 0, 0},
-#endif
-
-... and ...
-
-#ifdef INCLUDE_SIS900
-	{ "SIS900", sis900_probe, pci_ioaddrs },	
-#endif
-
-4. Edit NIC to add sis900 and sis7016 to NIC list
-
-# SIS 900 and SIS 7016
-sis900		sis900		0x1039,0x0900
-sis7016		sis900		0x1039,0x7016
-
-5. Edit cards.h to add sis900 probe routine declaration
-
-#ifdef	INCLUDE_SIS900
-extern struct nic	*sis900_probe(struct nic *, unsigned short *
-                        PCI_ARG(struct pci_device *));
-#endif

-At this point, you can begin creating your driver source file.  See
-the "Writing an Etherboot Driver" section of the Etherboot
-documentation for some hints.  See the skel.c file for a starting
-point.  If there is a Linux driver for the card, you may be able to
-use that.  Copy and learn from existing Etherboot drivers (this is GPL
-/ Open Source software!).
-
-Join the etherboot-developers and etherboot-users mailing lists
-(information is on http://etherboot.sourceforge.net) for information and
-assistance. We invite more developers to help improve Etherboot.
-
-Visit the http://etherboot.sourceforge.net, http://thinguin.org, 
-http://rom-o-matic.net, and http://ltsp.org sites for information and
-assistance.

-Enjoy.
