BUILD
======
1. Untar the driver files - "tar -xvzf DP8381X-Linux-Ver-X.Y.tgz" 
2. Change directory to the DP8381X folder
3. Select the right make file (Makefile.2.x) depending on the kernel you
   are running (selects between 2.4.X and 2.6.X kernels) and rename it 
   as Makefile
4. Run the "make" command
   [This produces a loadable kernel module called macphy.ko for 2.6.x
       and macphy.o for 2.4.x]

/* Note: oai.h has numerous setting like disabling EEPROM, Big-endian mode operation etc. Please refer to the release-notes.txt and oai.h to alter behavior of the driver to suit your specific environment */ 

INSTALL
=======
The driver can be dynamically loaded (insmod) and unloaded (rmmod) from 
a running kernel using insmod/rmmod (for various load options refer to release-notes.txt).

# insmod macphy.ko [for 2.6.x kernel]
# insmod macphy.o [for 2.4.x kernel]
# rmmod macphy

CONFIGURATION
=============
1. Driver/device configuration can be made by passing load options while
   loading the driver. Refer to the file release-notes.txt in DP8381X folder
   to get the complete list of options (link, descriptor count etc.)

2. IP Configuration is done using the ifconfig command. Refer to man pages of
    ipconfig for detailed information.

3. Mac address can be set by calling the "ip" function directly too.
    ip link set ethX address AA:BB:CC:DD:EE:FF
    /* Note: change ethX to match your device and Mac address to match your desired setting */
