+This is a driver for the ET1310 network device.
+
+Based on the driver found at https://sourceforge.net/projects/et131x/
+
+Cleaned up immensely by Olaf Hartman and Christoph Hellwig <hch@infradead.org>
+
+Note, the powermanagement options were removed from the vendor provided
+driver as they did not build properly at the time.
+
+TODO:
+ - some rx packets have CRC/code/frame errors
+ - Look at reducing the number of spinlocks
+ - Simplify code in nic_rx_pkts(), when determining multicast_pkts_rcvd
+ - Implement NAPI support
+ - in et131x_tx(), don't return NETDEV_TX_BUSY, just drop the packet with kfree_skb().
+
+Please send patches to:
+ Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@linuxfoundation.org>
+ Mark Einon <mark.einon@gmail.com>
