Installing the Driver
---------------------
    1.  Make sure that you have read the README file.

    2.  Become root.
        You need to be root to run the installer.  To be root, use 
        the su command (without %, which indicates the shell prompt):
     
        % su
        
    3.  Run the installer by issuing the following command (note the
        root shell prompt of #):
    
        # ./install3c90x
        
        If the file is not executable, change the file permissions 
        to make it executable:
        
        # chmod +x install3c90x
        
        The installation script places the 3c90x driver module 
        into the appropriate directory under /lib/modules.
        
    4.  Configure the driver.
        See "Configuring the Driver" in the README file.
