+Overview
+========
+This driver implements networking functionality of Marvell's Octeon PCI
+EndPoint NIC.
+
+Supported Devices
+=================
+Currently, this driver support following devices:
+ * Network controller: Cavium, Inc. Device b200
+
+Interface Control
+=================
+Network Interface control like changing mtu, link speed, link down/up are
+done by writing command to mailbox command queue, a mailbox interface
+implemented through a reserved region in BAR4.
+This driver writes the commands into the mailbox and the firmware on the
+Octeon device processes them. The firmware also sends unsolicited notifications
+to driver for events suchs as link change, through notification queue
+implemented as part of mailbox interface.
