It is based on the earlier PCA-200E driver +written by Uwe Dannowski. + +The driver simultaneously supports PCA-200E and SBA-200E adapters on +i386, alpha (untested), powerpc, sparc and sparc64 archs. + +The intent is to enable the use of different models of FORE adapters at the +same time, by hosts that have several bus interfaces (such as PCI+SBUS, +or PCI+EISA). + +Only PCI and SBUS devices are currently supported by the driver, but support +for other bus interfaces such as EISA should not be too hard to add. + + +Firmware Copyright Notice +------------------------- + +Please read the fore200e_firmware_copyright file present +in the linux/drivers/atm directory for details and restrictions. + + +Firmware Updates +---------------- + +The FORE Systems 200E-series driver is shipped with firmware data being +uploaded to the ATM adapters at system boot time or at module loading time. +/*(DEBLOBBED)*/ + + +Feedback +-------- + +Feedback is welcome.
