+  A. Compiler command:
+
+     A-1: For normal single processor kernel
+          "gcc -DMODULE -D__KERNEL__ -I/usr/src/linux/net/inet -Wall 
+            -Wstrict-prototypes -O6 -c dmfe.c"
+
+     A-2: For single processor and enable kernel module version function
+          "gcc -DMODULE -DMODVERSIONS -D__KERNEL__ -I/usr/src/linux/net/inet 
+            -Wall -Wstrict-prototypes -O6 -c dmfe.c"
+
+     A-3: For multiple processors(SMP) and enable the module version function
+          "gcc -D__SMP__ -DMODULE -DMODVERSIONS -D__KERNEL__ -I/usr/src/linux
+           /net/inet -Wall -Wstrict-prototypes -O6 -c dmfe.c"
+
+
+  B. The following steps teach you how to active DM9102 board:
+
+        1. Used the upper compiler command to compile dmfe.c
+
+        2. Insert dmfe module into kernel
+           "insmod dmfe"        ;;Auto Detection Mode (Suggest)
+           "insmod dmfe mode=0" ;;Force 10M Half Duplex
+           "insmod dmfe mode=1" ;;Force 100M Half Duplex
+           "insmod dmfe mode=4" ;;Force 10M Full Duplex
+           "insmod dmfe mode=5" ;;Force 100M Full Duplex
+
+        3. Config a dm9102 network interface
+           "ifconfig eth0 172.22.3.18"
+                          ^^^^^^^^^^^ Your IP address
+
+        4. Active the IP routing table. For some distributions, it is not
+           necessary. You can type "route" to check.
+
+           "route add default eth0"
+
+
+        5. Well done. Your DM9102 adapter actived now.
+
+
+   C. Object files description:
+        1. dmfe_rh61.o:       	For Redhat 6.1
+
+        If you can make sure your kernel version, you can rename
+        to dmfe.o and directly use it without re-compiling.
