DESCRIPTION
     The ne device driver supports NE2000 and compatible (including NE1000)
     Ethernet cards.  While the original NE2000 is designed for ISA bus, the
     compatible Realtek 8019 chip is widely used on various local busses and
     ne driver also supports such devices on various machines.

MEDIA SELECTION
     The Realtek 8019 (ISA, ISAPnP, some PCMCIA) and Realtek 8029 (PCI)
     NE2000-compatible Ethernet chips include support for software media
     selection.

     Some cards based on AX88x9x chips (like X-Surf 100) also support media
     selection and link auto negotiation through the mii(4) interface.

     If one of the above chips is detected by the driver, the list of
     supported media will be displayed.

     For all other chips supported by the ne driver, media selection must be
     performed either via card jumper settings or by vendor-supplied
     configuration programs.

DIAGNOSTICS
     ne0: where did the card go?  The driver found the card, but was unable to
     make the card respond to complete the configuration sequence.
