Linux-2.6.12-rc2v2.6.12-rc2

Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history,
even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git
archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about
3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early
git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good
infrastructure for it.

Let it rip!

+
+
+    Caveats:
+    
+    I am not sure if 100BaseTX daughterboards (for those cards which
+    support such things) will work.  I haven't had any solid evidence
+    either way.
+
+    However, if a card supports 100BaseTx without requiring an add
+    on daughterboard, it should work with 100BaseTx.
+
+    The "Netelligent 10 T/2 PCI UTP/Coax" (b012) device is untested,
+    but I do not expect any problems.
+    
+
+II.   Driver Options
+	1. You can append debug=x to the end of the insmod line to get
+           debug messages, where x is a bit field where the bits mean
+	   the following:
+	   
+	   0x01		Turn on general debugging messages.
+	   0x02		Turn on receive debugging messages.
+	   0x04		Turn on transmit debugging messages.
+	   0x08		Turn on list debugging messages.
+
+	2. You can append aui=1 to the end of the insmod line to cause
+           the adapter to use the AUI interface instead of the 10 Base T
+           interface.  This is also what to do if you want to use the BNC
+	   connector on a TLAN based device.  (Setting this option on a
+	   device that does not have an AUI/BNC connector will probably
+	   cause it to not function correctly.)
+
+	3. You can set duplex=1 to force half duplex, and duplex=2 to
+	   force full duplex.
+
+	4. You can set speed=10 to force 10Mbs operation, and speed=100
+	   to force 100Mbs operation. (I'm not sure what will happen
+	   if a card which only supports 10Mbs is forced into 100Mbs
+	   mode.)
+
+	5. You have to use speed=X duplex=Y together now. If you just
+	   do "insmod tlan.o speed=100" the driver will do Auto-Neg.
+	   To force a 10Mbps Half-Duplex link do "insmod tlan.o speed=10 
+	   duplex=1".
+
+	6. If the driver is built into the kernel, you can use the 3rd
+	   and 4th parameters to set aui and debug respectively.  For
+	   example:
+
+	   ether=0,0,0x1,0x7,eth0
+
+	   This sets aui to 0x1 and debug to 0x7, assuming eth0 is a
+	   supported TLAN device.
+
+	   The bits in the third byte are assigned as follows:
+
+		0x01 = aui
+		0x02 = use half duplex
+		0x04 = use full duplex
+		0x08 = use 10BaseT
+		0x10 = use 100BaseTx
+
+	   You also need to set both speed and duplex settings when forcing
+	   speeds with kernel-parameters. 
+	   ether=0,0,0x12,0,eth0 will force link to 100Mbps Half-Duplex.
+
+	7. If you have more than one tlan adapter in your system, you can
+	   use the above options on a per adapter basis. To force a 100Mbit/HD
+	   link with your eth1 adapter use:
+	   
+	   insmod tlan speed=0,100 duplex=0,1
+
+	   Now eth0 will use auto-neg and eth1 will be forced to 100Mbit/HD.
+	   Note that the tlan driver supports a maximum of 8 adapters.
+
+
+III.  Things to try if you have problems.
+	1. Make sure your card's PCI id is among those listed in
+	   section I, above.
+	2. Make sure routing is correct.
+	3. Try forcing different speed/duplex settings
