This driver supports following cards :
- ICL EtherTeam 16i
- ICL EtherTeam 32 EISA
(Uses true 32 bit transfers rather than 16i compability mode)
Example Module usage:
insmod eth16i.o io=0x2a0 mediatype=bnc
mediatype can be one of the following: bnc,tp,dix,auto,eprom
'auto' will try to autoprobe mediatype.
'eprom' will use whatever type defined in eprom.
I have benchmarked driver with PII/300Mhz as a ftp client
and 486/33Mhz as a ftp server. Top speed was 1128.37 kilobytes/sec.

0.02 23.01-95 Interrupt is now hooked correctly
0.03 01.02-95 Rewrote initialization part
0.04 07.02-95 Base skeleton done...
Made a few changes to signature checking
to make it a bit reliable.
- fixed bug in tx_buf mapping
- fixed bug in initialization (DLC_EN
wasn't enabled when initialization
was done.)
0.05 08.02-95 If there were more than one packet to send,
transmit was jammed due to invalid
register write...now fixed
0.06 19.02-95 Rewrote interrupt handling
0.07 13.04-95 Wrote EEPROM read routines
Card configuration now set according to
data read from EEPROM
0.08 23.06-95 Wrote part that tries to probe used interface
port if AUTO is selected
0.09 01.09-95 Added module support
0.10 04.09-95 Fixed receive packet allocation to work
with kernels > 1.3
