+	depends on PCI
+	---help---
+	  Say Y here if you have a Realtek LAN chip of the family below.
+	  
+	  E.g. the 810x may be identified as 'Unknow device 8136' as
+	  of 2.6.18-rc6, with PCI_ID=10ec:8136, on recent (as of Aug 2006)
+	  Toshiba laptops.  
+
+	  Also, this r1000 may be a better (it's newer at least) choice 
+	  for RTL8169 as well than r8169 above.
+	  
+	  To compile this driver as a module, choose M here: the module
+	  will be called r1000.  This is recommended.
+
+	  == Most relevant excerpt from original README ==
+	  Chips supported:
+	  1. RTL8169S/SB/SC (Gigabit Ethernet with PCI interface)
+	  2. RTL8168B (Gigabit Ethernet with PCI-Express interface)
+	  3. RTL8101E (Fast Ethernet with PCI-Express interface)
+          
+          Advanced feature:
+
+          - Supports Jumbo Frame
+          - Hardware Tx/Rx flow control
+
+	  Force the link status when insert the driver.
+	  If the user is in the path ~/r1000, the link status can be 
+	  forced to one of the 5 modes as following command.
+
+	  #insmod ./src/r1000.ko speed=SPEED_MODE duplex=DUPLEX_MODE 
+	  	autoneg=NWAY_OPTION
+
+	  where
+		SPEED_MODE	= 1000	for 1000Mbps
+				= 100	for 100Mbps
+				= 10	for 10Mbps
+		DUPLEX_MODE	= 0	for half-duplex
+				= 1	for full-duplex
+		NWAY_OPTION	= 0	for auto-negotiation off
+				= 1	for auto-negotiation on
+
+          Force the link status by using ethtool:
+
+	  #ethtool -s eth? speed SPEED_MODE duplex DUPLEX_MODE 
+	  	autoneg NWAY_OPTION
+
+	  where
+		SPEED_MODE	= 1000	for 1000Mbps
+				= 100	for 100Mbps
+				= 10	for 10Mbps
+		DUPLEX_MODE	= half	for half-duplex
+				= full	for full-duplex
+		NWAY_OPTION	= off	for auto-negotiation off
+				= on	for auto-negotiation on
