.SH NAME
e100 \-This file describes the Linux* Base Driver for the Intel(R) PRO/100 Family of Adapters.


.SH SYNOPSIS
modprobe e100 
.br
insmod e100
.LP


.SH DESCRIPTION
This driver is intended for \fB2.4.x\fR and \fB2.6.x\fR kernels. 
This 
driver includes support for Itanium(R)2-based systems.
.LP
For questions related to hardware requirements, 
refer to the documentation supplied with your Intel 
PRO/100 adapter.
.LP


.SH Ethtool
.LP
The driver utilizes the ethtool interface for driver configuration and diagnostics, as well as displaying statistical information.  Ethtool version 1.6 or later is required for this functionality.
.LP
The latest release of ethtool can be found from http://sf.net/projects/gkernel.  After ethtool is installed, ethtool-copy.h must be copied and renamed to ethtool.h in your kernel source tree at <linux_kernel_src>/include/linux.  Backup the original ethtool.h as needed before copying.  The driver then must be recompiled in order to take advantage of the latest ethtool features.
.LP
Ethtool 1.6 only supports a limited set of ethtool options. Support for a more complete ethtool feature set can be enabled by upgrading ethtool to ethtool-1.8.1. 

.SH NAPI
.LP
NAPI (Rx polling mode) is supported in the e100 driver. NAPI is enabled or disabled based on the configuration of the kernel. To enable NAPI, compile the driver module, passing in a configuration option:
.IP
make CFLAGS_EXTRA=-DE100_NAPI install
.IP
To disable NAPI, compile the driver module, passing in the configuration option:
.IP
make CFLAGS_EXTRA=-DE100_NO_NAPI install
.LP
See www.cyberus.ca/~hadi/usenix-paper.tgz for more information on NAPI.


.SH SUPPORT
.LP
