Identifying Your Adapter
========================
The latest release of ethtool can be found at:
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.
-
NOTE: This driver uses mii support from the kernel. As a result, when
there is no link, ethtool will report speed/duplex to be 10/half.

- NAPI (Rx polling mode) is supported in the e100 driver. NAPI is enabled
- or disabled based on the configuration of the kernel.
+ NAPI (Rx polling mode) is supported in the e100 driver.
