Driver for Xpeed Inc. PCI network cards
---------------------------------------
The following cards are supported with this driver:

Xpeed X200 IDSL NIC (http://www.xpeed.com/Products/x200/x200_c.html)
Xpeed X300 SDSL NIC (http://www.xpeed.com/Products/x300/x300_c.html)

This driver handles frame relay encapsulation of WAN link and presents
the card to the kernel as an ethernet-like device called dsl0, dsl1, etc.

The driver supports up to 6 cards and supports operation in either
RFC1490 frame relay or bridged ethernet modes. Note that when operating
in RFC1490 frame relay mode, "ifconfig -arp" (no ARP) should be used.

=============================== NOTE ====================================
You will NEED to use the xpds-config utility to configure the link speed,
change LT/NT mode, change swap/invert parameters, and reflash the adapter
firmware. This utility and other support files can be downloaded at
ftp://ftp.xpeed.com/pub/linux/
=============================== NOTE ====================================

The driver accepts the following parameters when compiled as a module:

xpds_default_dlci
    Defines the DLCI to be used for the local interface. Default is 16.

xpds_default_dlci_cr
    A special mask value to be used when speaking with certain buggy
    vendor equipment. Can be 0 or 2. Default is 0.

xpds_default_dlci_lmi
    Defines how the card will perform LMI protocol negotiation.
    Valid values are:
     0  No LMI will be used.
     1  LMI will operate in LT (Line Termination) mode.
     2  LMI will operate in NT (Network Termination) mode.
     3  LMI will operation in bidirectional NT mode.
    -1  Attempt to autoconfigure LMI mode. (Default)

xpds_default_bridged
    Defines whether the card will operate in RFC1490 frame relay or
    bridged ethernet mode. Default is 0, RFC1490 frame relay mode.

Typical usage for a connection in RFC1490 frame relay mode:

# modprobe xpds-fr
# ifconfig dsl0 10.0.0.2 netmask 255.255.255.0 broadcast 10.0.0.255 -arp

Typical usage for a connection in bridged ethernet mode:

# modprobe xpds-fr xpds_default_bridged=1
# ifconfig dsl0 10.0.0.2 netmask 255.255.255.0 broadcast 10.0.0.255
