+This document describes the usage and errata of the 3Com "Vortex" device
+driver for Linux.
+
+This driver supports the following hardware:
+ 3c590, 3c592, 3c595, 3c597
+
+When loaded as a module the following variables may be set:
+ name type description
+ debug int The debug message level, 0 (no messages) to 6 (wordy).
+ options int[] The media type override and card operation settings
+ (See list below.)
+
+An example of loading the vortex module is
+ insmod 3c59x.o debug=1 options=0,,12
+This sets the debug message level to minimal messages, sets the first card to
+the 10baseT transceiver, the second to the EEPROM-set transceiver, and the
+third card to operate in full-duplex mode using its 100baseTx transceiver.
+(Note: card ordering is set by the PCI BIOS.)
+
+Possible media type settings
+ 0 10baseT
+ 1 10Mbs AUI
+ 2 undefined
+ 3 10base2 (BNC)
+ 4 100base-TX
+ 5 100base-FX
+ 6 MII (not yet available)
+ 7 <Use default setting>
+
+ 8 Full-duplex bit
+ 8 10baseT full-duplex
+ 12 100baseTx full-duplex
+ 16 Bus-master enable bit (experimental use only!)
+
+Details of the device driver implementation are at the top of the source file.
