-(3) GENERAL INFORMATION
-=======================
+3. General Information
+======================
From v2.01 on, the driver is integrated in the linux kernel sources.
Therefore, the installation is the same as for any other adapter
supported by the kernel.
+
Refer to the manual of your distribution about the installation
of network adapters.

Makes my life much easier :-)

-(4) TROUBLESHOOTING
-===================
+4. Troubleshooting
+==================
If you run into problems during installation, check those items:
-Problem: The FDDI adapter cannot be found by the driver.
-Reason: Look in /proc/pci for the following entry:
- 'FDDI network controller: SysKonnect SK-FDDI-PCI ...'
+Problem:
+ The FDDI adapter cannot be found by the driver.
+
+Reason:
+ Look in /proc/pci for the following entry:
+
+ 'FDDI network controller: SysKonnect SK-FDDI-PCI ...'
+
If this entry exists, then the FDDI adapter has been
found by the system and should be able to be used.
+
If this entry does not exist or if the file '/proc/pci'
is not there, then you may have a hardware problem or PCI
support may not be enabled in your kernel.
+
The adapter can be checked using the diagnostic program
which is available from the SysKonnect web site:
+
www.syskonnect.de
+
Some COMPAQ machines have a problem with PCI under
Linux. This is described in the 'PCI howto' document
(included in some distributions or available from the
www, e.g. at 'www.linux.org') and no workaround is available.

+5. Function of the Adapter LEDs
+===============================
-(5) FUNCTION OF THE ADAPTER LEDS
-================================
+ The functionality of the LED's on the FDDI network adapters was
+ changed in SMT version v2.82. With this new SMT version, the yellow
+ LED works as a ring operational indicator. An active yellow LED
+ indicates that the ring is down. The green LED on the adapter now
+ works as a link indicator where an active GREEN LED indicates that
+ the respective port has a physical connection.
