     *Under some distribution, such as SuSe 7.2 and BluePoint 2.0, there is no version.h.
      You have to run "make config" or "make menuconfig" at /usr/src/linux to create it.
      
    **If you are using Mandrake 8.0 and you have problems when insmod the dirver, please 
      remove "-DMODVERSIONS" option from makefile.

   ***On SMP system, the driver may NOT work well. The bug will be fixed in the future.

  2. Insert network adapter driver modules

	insmod	pciscan.o
	insmod	RTK8189C.o

  5. Bind your card to an IP address

	ifconfig eth0 {IPADDR} netmask {NETMASK}

  6. Now, you should be able to ping local network.

 *Every time you reboot the system, you must execute step 4 and step 5
  again to bind your card.
