NAME
       axnet_cs - Asix AX88190 chipset PCMCIA Ethernet Driver


SYNOPSIS
       insmod axnet_cs.o [pc_debug=n] [irq_list=i,j,...]


DESCRIPTION
       Axnet_cs  is  a  driver  for  PCMCIA  ethernet  cards based on the Asix
       AX88190 chipset.  These cards are mostly  NE2000  compatible  but  have
       several  bugs  that are sufficiently tricky to work around that a sepa-
       rate driver was deemed necessary.  When this driver is bound to a card,
       it   allocates  the  next available ethernet device (eth0..eth#).  This
       device name will be reported in the kernel log file, and passed  on  to
       cardmgr(8).


PARAMETERS
       pc_debug=n
              Selects  the  PCMCIA  debugging  level.   This parameter is only
              available if the module is compiled with debugging  enabled.   A
              non-zero value enables debugging.

       irq_list=i,j,...
              Specifies  the  set  of interrupts that may be allocated by this
              driver.


DIAGNOSTICS
       axnet_cs: this is not an AX88190 card!
              Indicates that this card is probably a normal NE2000  compatible
              card, which requires the pcnet_cs driver.

       eth#: interrupt(s) dropped!
              Indicates that the driver did not receive an interrupt notifica-
              tion for some reason.  The driver will poll  the  card  (with  a
              significant  performance  penalty) if the problem persists.  The
              most likely cause is an interrupt conflict  and/or  host  bridge
              configuration problem.
