4.0 COMPILING THE DRIVER
===============================================================================
4. Compiling the Driver
=======================
The cs89x0 driver can be compiled directly into the kernel or compiled into
a loadable device driver module.
Just use the standard way to configure the driver and compile the Kernel.
4.1 COMPILING THE DRIVER AS A LOADABLE MODULE
To compile the driver into a loadable module, use the following command
(single command line, without quotes):
"gcc -D__KERNEL__ -I/usr/src/linux/include -I/usr/src/linux/net/inet -Wall
-Wstrict-prototypes -O2 -fomit-frame-pointer -DMODULE -DCONFIG_MODVERSIONS
-c cs89x0.c"
4.2 COMPILING THE DRIVER TO SUPPORT MEMORY MODE
Support for memory mode was not carried over into the 2.3 series kernels.
4.3 COMPILING THE DRIVER TO SUPPORT Rx DMA
4.1. Compiling the Driver to Support Rx DMA
-------------------------------------------
The compile-time optionality for DMA was removed in the 2.3 kernel

5.2.1. Diagnostic Self-test
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
The diagnostic self-test checks the adapter's basic functionality as well as
its ability to communicate across the ISA bus based on the system resources
assigned during hardware configuration. The following tests are performed:
* IO Register Read/Write Test
The IO Register Read/Write test insures that the CS8900/20 can be
accessed in IO mode, and that the IO base address is correct.
* Shared Memory Test
The Shared Memory test insures the CS8900/20 can be accessed in memory
mode and that the range of memory addresses assigned does not conflict
with other devices in the system.
* Interrupt Test
The Interrupt test insures there are no conflicts with the assigned IRQ
signal.
* EEPROM Test
The EEPROM test insures the EEPROM can be read.
* Chip RAM Test
The Chip RAM test insures the 4K of memory internal to the CS8900/20 is
working properly.
* Internal Loop-back Test
The Internal Loop Back test insures the adapter's transmitter and
receiver are operating properly. If this test fails, make sure the
adapter's cable is connected to the network (check for LED activity for
example).
* Boot PROM Test
The Boot PROM test insures the Boot PROM is present, and can be read.
