Peer Chen 4689ced99b [netdrvr] add 'uli526x' driver (a tulip clone)
We want to extract our LAN card driver from tulip core driver and
make a new file uli526x.c at tulip folder, because we have added
some ethtool interface support and non-eprom support in our driver
and may be other change in the futher.

If our controllers support are still contained in the tulip core
driver, I think it'll increase the complexity of maintenance, you
know, tulip core driver include several files and support so many
other controllers.  Furthermore, I tested the newest kernel 2.6.12
and I found the tulip driver can not work on our lan controller, and
I no time to debug it, so I aspired want to make a single uli526x.c
file just for our controllers.  Could you help us remove the ULi
m5261/m5263 lan controller support from tulip core driver and add
the new single uli526x.c file for us?

config NET_TULIP
bool "\"Tulip\" family network device support"

This selects the "Tulip" family of EISA/PCI network cards.

tristate "Early DECchip Tulip (dc2104x) PCI support (EXPERIMENTAL)"
depends on NET_TULIP && PCI && EXPERIMENTAL
select CRC32
---help---
This driver is developed for the SMC EtherPower series Ethernet
cards and also works with cards based on the DECchip
21040 (Tulip series) chips. Some LinkSys PCI cards are
of this type. (If your card is NOT SMC EtherPower 10/100 PCI
(smc9332dst), you can also try the driver for "Generic DECchip"
cards, below. However, most people with a network card of this type
will say Y here.) Do read the Ethernet-HOWTO, available from
<http://www.tldp.org/docs.html#howto>.
To compile this driver as a module, choose M here and read
<file:Documentation/networking/net-modules.txt>. The module will
be called de2104x.

config TULIP_MWI
bool "New bus configuration (EXPERIMENTAL)"
depends on TULIP && EXPERIMENTAL
help
This configures your Tulip card specifically for the card and
system cache line size type you are using.
This is experimental code, not yet tested on many boards.
If unsure, say N.
config TULIP_MMIO
bool "Use PCI shared mem for NIC registers"
depends on TULIP
help
Use PCI shared memory for the NIC registers, rather than going through
the Tulip's PIO (programmed I/O ports). Faster, but could produce
obscure bugs if your mainboard has memory controller timing issues.
If in doubt, say N.
config TULIP_NAPI
bool "Use NAPI RX polling "
depends on TULIP
help
NAPI is a new driver API designed to reduce CPU and interrupt load
when the driver is receiving lots of packets from the card. It is
still somewhat experimental and thus not yet enabled by default.
If your estimated Rx load is 10kpps or more, or if the card will be
deployed on potentially unfriendly networks (e.g. in a firewall),
then say Y here.
See <file:Documentation/networking/NAPI_HOWTO.txt> for more
information.
If in doubt, say N.
config TULIP_NAPI_HW_MITIGATION
bool "Use Interrupt Mitigation "
depends on TULIP_NAPI
---help---
Use HW to reduce RX interrupts. Not strict necessary since NAPI reduces
RX interrupts but itself. Although this reduces RX interrupts even at
low levels traffic at the cost of a small latency.
If in doubt, say Y.
config DE4X5
tristate "Generic DECchip & DIGITAL EtherWORKS PCI/EISA"

---help---
This is support for the DIGITAL series of PCI/EISA Ethernet cards.
These include the DE425, DE434, DE435, DE450 and DE500 models. If
you have a network card of this type, say Y and read the
Ethernet-HOWTO, available from
<http://www.tldp.org/docs.html#howto>. More specific
information is contained in
<file:Documentation/networking/de4x5.txt>.

This driver is for the Winbond W89c840 chip. It also works with
the TX9882 chip on the Compex RL100-ATX board.

This driver is for DM9102(A)/DM9132/DM9801 compatible PCI cards from
Davicom (<http://www.davicom.com.tw/>). If you have such a network
(Ethernet) card, say Y. Some information is contained in the file

This driver is for the Digital "Tulip" Ethernet CardBus adapters.
