+  This driver is developed for the SMC EtherPower series ethernet
+  cards and also works with the DECchip 21040/21041/21140
+  (Tulip series) based other cards.  If you have a network card of

+  (user: anonymous) in sunsite.unc.edu:/pub/Linux/docs/HOWTO. More
+  specific information is contained in
+  Documentation/networking/tulip.txt. This driver is also available
+  as a module ( = code which can be inserted in and removed from
+  the running kernel whenever you want).  If you want to compile
+  it as a module, say M here and read Documentation/modules.txt as
