SPDX-License-Identifier: GPL-2.0 - -============================================= -FORE Systems PCA-200E/SBA-200E ATM NIC driver -============================================= - -This driver adds support for the FORE Systems 200E-series ATM adapters -to the Linux operating system. It is based on the earlier PCA-200E driver -written by Uwe Dannowski. - -The driver simultaneously supports PCA-200E and SBA-200E adapters on -i386, alpha (untested), powerpc, sparc and sparc64 archs. - -The intent is to enable the use of different models of FORE adapters at the -same time, by hosts that have several bus interfaces (such as PCI+SBUS, -or PCI+EISA). - -Only PCI and SBUS devices are currently supported by the driver, but support -for other bus interfaces such as EISA should not be too hard to add. - - -Firmware Copyright Notice -------------------------- - -Please read the fore200e_firmware_copyright file present -in the linux/drivers/atm directory for details and restrictions. - - -Firmware Updates ----------------- - -The FORE Systems 200E-series driver is shipped with firmware data being -uploaded to the ATM adapters at system boot time or at module loading time. -The supplied firmware images should work with all adapters. - -However, if you encounter problems (the firmware doesn't start or the driver -is unable to read the PROM data), you may consider trying another firmware -version. Alternative binary firmware images can be found somewhere on the -ForeThought CD-ROM supplied with your adapter by FORE Systems. - -You can also get the latest firmware images from FORE Systems at -https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/FORE_Systems. Register TACTics Online and go to -the 'software updates' pages. The firmware binaries are part of -the various ForeThought software distributions. - -Notice that different versions of the PCA-200E firmware exist, depending -on the endianness of the host architecture. The driver is shipped with -both little and big endian PCA firmware images. - -Name and location of the new firmware images can be set at kernel -configuration time: - -1. Copy the new firmware binary files (with .bin, .bin1 or .bin2 suffix) - to some directory, such as linux/drivers/atm. - -2. Reconfigure your kernel to set the new firmware name and location. - Expected pathnames are absolute or relative to the drivers/atm directory. - -3. Rebuild and re-install your kernel or your module. - - -Feedback --------- - -Feedback is welcome. Please send success stories/bug reports/ -patches/improvement/comments/flames to <lizzi@cnam.fr>. |
