+This is a driver for the ET1310 network device.
+
+Based on the driver found at https://sourceforge.net/projects/et131x/
+
+Cleaned up immensely by Olaf Hartman <o.hartmann@telovital.com> and Christoph
+Hellwig <hch@infradead.org>
+
+Note, the powermanagement options were removed from the vendor provided
+driver as they did not build properly at the time.
+
+TODO:
+ - kernel coding style cleanups
+ - forward port for latest network driver changes
+ - kill useless typecasts (e.g. in et1310_phy.c)
+ - alloc_etherdev is initializing memory with zero?!?
+ - add_timer call in et131x_netdev.c is correct?
+ - Add power saving functionality (suspend, sleep, resume)
+ - Implement a few more kernel Parameter (set mac )
+
+Please send patches to:
+ Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@suse.de>
+
+And Cc: Olaf Hartmann <o.hartmann@telovital.com> as he has this device and can
+test any changes.
