1.      Q. Ifconfig reports "10Mbs Ethernet" for my 10/100Mbs card.  How do
           I get my card to run in 100Mbs mode?

        A. The "10Mbs Ethernet" is poorly named.  What this is really saying
           is that this device is some kind of Ethernet device (ie, uses
           ethernet style frames at the link layer).  Recent versions of
           ifconfig report this as simply "Ethernet".

           The TLAN driver is designed to autodetect 10Mbs vs. 100Mbs
           connections, and choose the higher speed.  The most sure way
           to determine what speed you are running at is to look at the
           100Mbs LED on the card, if your device has one.


2.      Q. My network card is using the same interrupt as my SCSI card.

        A. Some Compaqs set all PCI devices to the same interrupt by default.
           You can either change the interrupt used by one of the device
           with your Compaq configuration utility, or you can have the TLAN
           driver use the same type of interrupt handler:

           a. For module based use, add 'sa_int=1' to the command line, eg.:
                insmod tlan.o sa_int=1

           b. For compiled in kernel, set the 0x2 bit in the third part
              for the boot parameter for that device, eg.:
                ether=0,0,0x2,0,eth0
