-		Linux network driver modules
-
-	Do not mistake this to "README.modules" at the top-level
-	directory!  That document tells about modules in general, while
-	this one tells only about network device driver modules.
-
-	This is a potpourri of INSMOD-time(*) configuration options
-	(if such exists) and their default values of various modules
-	on Linux network drivers collection.
-
-	Some modules have also hidden (= non-documented) tunable values.
-	Choice of not documenting them is based on general belief, that
-	the less user needs to know, the better.  (There are things that
-	driver developer can use, others should not confuse themselves.)
-
-	In many cases it is highly preferred that insmod:ing is done
-	ONLY with defining an explicite address for the card, AND BY
-	NOT USING AUTO-PROBING!
-
-	Now most cards have some explicitely defined base address, they
-	are compiled with (to avoid auto-probing, among other things).
-	If that compiled value does not match your actual configuration,
-	do use  "io=0xXXX" -parameter for the  insmod, and give there
-	a value matching your environment.
-
-	If you are adventureous, you can ask the driver to autoprobe
-	by using "io=0" parameter, however it is potentially dangerous
-	thing to do in a live system.  (If you don't know where the
-	card is located, you can try autoprobing, and after possible
-	crash recovery, insmod with proper IO-address..)
-
-	--------------------------
-	(*)	"INSMOD-time" means when you load module with
-		/sbin/insmod  you can feed it optional parameters.
-		See "man insmod".
