INTRODUCTION
    We provide this especially for Minix on VMware users ;-)
    You may use AMD LANCE and Intel PRO ethernet cards on Minix 2.0.4.
    Of course, this is absolutely experimental, NO WARRANTY!

USAGE
    [Added by ASW] Extract this in /usr/local/src, a 204ether directory 
    will be created. You should examine the files carefully and back up 
    original files before replacing them. Some files may need to be 
    edited. Read the README file. 
    
    [Original instructions were:
      Extract this tar file at /usr.
      NOTICE: This process overwrites the original files!]

    In the same way as the original Minix, edit include/minix/config.h,
    and "make hdboot" at src/tools.
    Edit /etc/inet.conf like "eth0 LANCE 0 { default; };".
    Set "LANCE0=pci" and "servers=inet" on the boot monitor, and boot.

    For Intel Pro, edit include/minix/config.h to set ENABLE_EEPRO to 1,
    and /etc/inet.conf like "eth0 EEPRO 0 { default; };".
    Set "EEPRO0=pci" and "servers=inet" on the boot monitor.

    If you would like to use the original neweth's PCI routine,
    rename pci.h.neweth to pci.h, pci.c.neweth to pci.c,
    and edit include/minix/config.h to set ENABLE_PCI to 0.
