+MaxLinear Multi-MAC Network Processor (NP)
+===============================================
+
+Copyright(c) 2025 MaxLinear, Inc.
+
+Overview
+========
+
+This document describes the Linux driver for the MaxLinear Network Processor
+(NP), a high-performance controller supporting multiple MACs and
+advanced packet processing capabilities.
+
+The MaxLinear Network processor integrates programmable hardware accelerators
+for tasks such as Layer 2, 3, 4 forwarding, flow steering, and traffic shaping.
+It is designed to operate in high-throughput applications, including data
+center switching, virtualized environments, and telco infrastructure.
+
+Key Features
+============
+
+- Support for up to 4 independent 10 Gbit/s MAC interfaces
+- Full-duplex 10G operation
+- Multiqueue support for parallel RX/TX paths (per MAC)
+
+Supported Devices
+=================
+
+The driver supports the following MaxLinear NPU family devices:
+- MaxLinear LGM
+
+Each device supports multiple MACs and high-performance data pipelines managed
+through internal firmware and programmable engines.
+
+Driver Location
+===============
+
+The driver source code is located in the kernel tree at:
+  drivers/net/ethernet/maxlinear/
+
+Interfaces are created as standard Linux `net_device` interfaces:
+
+- eth0, eth1 (up to 2)
+- Multiqueue support (e.g., eth0 has multiple TX/RX queues)
+
+Kernel Configuration
+====================
+
+The driver is located in the menu structure at:
+
+  -> Device Drivers
+    -> Network device support
+      -> Ethernet driver support
+        -> MaxLinear NPU Ethernet driver
+
+Or set in your kernel config:
+  CONFIG_NET_VENDOR_MAXLINEAR=y
+  CONFIG_MAXLINEAR_ETH=y
