It has been found +that there are 2 main types of cards and all other cards are +the same and just have different names or only have minor differences +such as more IO ports. As this driver is tested it will +become more clear exactly what cards are supported. + +Right now these cards are known to work with the COPS driver. The +LT-200 cards work in a somewhat more limited capacity than the +DL200 cards, which work very well and are in use by many people. + +TANGENT driver mode: + Tangent ATB-II, Novell NL-1000, Daystar Digital LT-200 +DAYNA driver mode: + Dayna DL2000/DaynaTalk PC (Half Length), COPS LT-95, + Farallon PhoneNET PC III, Farallon PhoneNET PC II +Other cards possibly supported mode unknown though: + Dayna DL2000 (Full length) + +The COPS driver defaults to using Dayna mode. To change the driver's +mode if you built a driver with dual support use board_type=1 or +board_type=2 for Dayna or Tangent with insmod. + +** Operation/loading of the driver. +Use modprobe like this: /sbin/modprobe cops.o (IO #) (IRQ #) +If you do not specify any options the driver will try and use the IO = 0x240, +IRQ = 5. As of right now I would only use IRQ 5 for the card, if autoprobing. + +To load multiple COPS driver Localtalk cards you can do one of the following. + +insmod cops io=0x240 irq=5 +insmod -o cops2 cops io=0x260 irq=3 + +Or in lilo.conf put something like this: + append="ether=5,0x240,lt0 ether=3,0x260,lt1" + +Then bring up the interface with ifconfig.
