[PATCH] Documentation/networking/dmfe.txt: Make documentation nicer

Patch indents dmfe.txt to look like other docs.  It adds a tip about CNET
cards using Davicom chipsets.  Also it removes parts where it refers to how
to build driver out-of-kernel which seems to be cruft from times where the
driver was out of the kernel.

+This driver provides kernel support for Davicom DM9102(A)/DM9132/DM9801 ethernet cards ( CNET
+10/100 ethernet cards uses Davicom chipset too, so this driver supports CNET cards too ).If you
+didn't compile this driver as a module, it will automatically load itself on boot and print a
+line similar to :
 
-  A. Compiler command:
+       dmfe: Davicom DM9xxx net driver, version 1.36.4 (2002-01-17)
 
-     A-1: For normal single or multiple processor kernel
-          "gcc -DMODULE -D__KERNEL__ -I/usr/src/linux/net/inet -Wall 
-            -Wstrict-prototypes -O6 -c dmfe.c"
+If you compiled this driver as a module, you have to load it on boot.You can load it with command :
 
-     A-2: For single or multiple processor with kernel module version function
-          "gcc -DMODULE -DMODVERSIONS -D__KERNEL__ -I/usr/src/linux/net/inet 
-            -Wall -Wstrict-prototypes -O6 -c dmfe.c"
+       insmod dmfe
 
+This way it will autodetect the device mode.This is the suggested way to load the module.Or you can pass
+a mode= setting to module while loading, like :
 
-  B. The following steps teach you how to activate a DM9102 board:
+       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
 
-        1. Used the upper compiler command to compile dmfe.c
+Next you should configure your network interface with a command similar to :
 
-        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
+       ifconfig eth0 172.22.3.18
+                      ^^^^^^^^^^^
+                    Your IP Adress
 
-        3. Config a dm9102 network interface
-           "ifconfig eth0 172.22.3.18"
-                          ^^^^^^^^^^^ Your IP address
+Then you may have to modify the default routing table with command :
 
-        4. Activate the IP routing table. For some distributions, it is not
-           necessary. You can type "route" to check.
+       route add default eth0
 
-           "route add default eth0"
 
+Now your ethernet card should be up and running.
 
-        5. Well done. Your DM9102 adapter is now activated.
 
+TODO:
 
-   C. Object files description:
-        1. dmfe_rh61.o:        For Redhat 6.1
+Implement pci_driver::suspend() and pci_driver::resume() power management methods.
+Check on 64 bit boxes.
+Check and fix on big endian boxes.
+Test and make sure PCI latency is now correct for all cases.
 
-        If you can make sure your kernel version, you can rename
-        to dmfe.o and directly use it without re-compiling.
