+SB100 device driver
+===================
+
+sb1000 is a module network device driver for the General Instrument (also known
+as NextLevel) SURFboard1000 internal cable modem board.  This is an ISA card
+which is used by a number of cable TV companies to provide cable modem access.
+It's a one-way downstream-only cable modem, meaning that your upstream net link
+is provided by your regular phone modem.
+
+This driver was written by Franco Venturi <fventuri@mediaone.net>.  He deserves
+a great deal of thanks for this wonderful piece of code!
+
+Needed tools
+============
+
+Support for this device is now a part of the standard Linux kernel.  The
+driver source code file is drivers/net/sb1000.c.  In addition to this
+you will need:
+
+1. The "cmconfig" program.  This is a utility which supplements "ifconfig"
+   to configure the cable modem and network interface (usually called "cm0");
+
+2. Several PPP scripts which live in /etc/ppp to make connecting via your
+   cable modem easy.
+
+   These utilities can be obtained from:
+
+      http://www.jacksonville.net/~fventuri/
+
+   in Franco's original source code distribution .tar.gz file.  Support for
+   the sb1000 driver can be found at:
+
+      - http://web.archive.org/web/%2E/http://home.adelphia.net/~siglercm/sb1000.html
+      - http://web.archive.org/web/%2E/http://linuxpower.cx/~cable/
+
+   along with these utilities.
+
+3. The standard isapnp tools.  These are necessary to configure your SB1000
+   card at boot time (or afterwards by hand) since it's a PnP card.
+
+   If you don't have these installed as a standard part of your Linux
+   distribution, you can find them at:
+
+      http://www.roestock.demon.co.uk/isapnptools/
+
+   or check your Linux distribution binary CD or their web site.  For help with
+   isapnp, pnpdump, or /etc/isapnp.conf, go to:
+
+      http://www.roestock.demon.co.uk/isapnptools/isapnpfaq.html
+
+Using the driver
+================
+
+To make the SB1000 card work, follow these steps:
+
+1. Run ``make config``, or ``make menuconfig``, or ``make xconfig``, whichever
+   you prefer, in the top kernel tree directory to set up your kernel
+   configuration.  Make sure to say "Y" to "Prompt for development drivers"
+   and to say "M" to the sb1000 driver.  Also say "Y" or "M" to all the standard
+   networking questions to get TCP/IP and PPP networking support.
+
+2. **BEFORE** you build the kernel, edit drivers/net/sb1000.c.  Make sure
+   to redefine the value of READ_DATA_PORT to match the I/O address used
+   by isapnp to access your PnP cards.  This is the value of READPORT in
+   /etc/isapnp.conf or given by the output of pnpdump.
+
+3. Build and install the kernel and modules as usual.
+
+4. Boot your new kernel following the usual procedures.
+
+5. Set up to configure the new SB1000 PnP card by capturing the output
+   of "pnpdump" to a file and editing this file to set the correct I/O ports,
+   IRQ, and DMA settings for all your PnP cards.  Make sure none of the settings
+   conflict with one another.  Then test this configuration by running the
+   "isapnp" command with your new config file as the input.  Check for
+   errors and fix as necessary.  (As an aside, I use I/O ports 0x110 and
+   0x310 and IRQ 11 for my SB1000 card and these work well for me.  YMMV.)
+   Then save the finished config file as /etc/isapnp.conf for proper
+   configuration on subsequent reboots.
+
+6. Download the original file sb1000-1.1.2.tar.gz from Franco's site or one of
+   the others referenced above.  As root, unpack it into a temporary directory
+   and do a ``make cmconfig`` and then ``install -c cmconfig /usr/local/sbin``.
+   Don't do ``make install`` because it expects to find all the utilities built
+   and ready for installation, not just cmconfig.
+
+7. As root, copy all the files under the ppp/ subdirectory in Franco's
+   tar file into /etc/ppp, being careful not to overwrite any files that are
+   already in there.  Then modify ppp@gi-on to set the correct login name,
+   phone number, and frequency for the cable modem.  Also edit pap-secrets
+   to specify your login name and password and any site-specific information
+   you need.
+
+8. Be sure to modify /etc/ppp/firewall to use ipchains instead of
+   the older ipfwadm commands from the 2.0.x kernels.  There's a neat utility to
+   convert ipfwadm commands to ipchains commands:
+
+	http://users.dhp.com/~whisper/ipfwadm2ipchains/
+
+   You may also wish to modify the firewall script to implement a different
+   firewalling scheme.
+
+9. Start the PPP connection via the script /etc/ppp/ppp@gi-on.  You must be
+   root to do this.  It's better to use a utility like sudo to execute
+   frequently used commands like this with root permissions if possible.  If you
+   connect successfully the cable modem interface will come up and you'll see a
+   driver message like this at the console::
+
+	 cm0: sb1000 at (0x110,0x310), csn 1, S/N 0x2a0d16d8, IRQ 11.
+	 sb1000.c:v1.1.2 6/01/98 (fventuri@mediaone.net)
+
+   The "ifconfig" command should show two new interfaces, ppp0 and cm0.
+
+   The command "cmconfig cm0" will give you information about the cable modem
+   interface.
+
+10. Try pinging a site via ``ping -c 5 www.yahoo.com``, for example.  You should
+    see packets received.
+
+11. If you can't get site names (like www.yahoo.com) to resolve into
+    IP addresses (like 204.71.200.67), be sure your /etc/resolv.conf file
+    has no syntax errors and has the right nameserver IP addresses in it.
+    If this doesn't help, try something like ``ping -c 5 204.71.200.67`` to
+    see if the networking is running but the DNS resolution is where the
+    problem lies.
+
+12. If you still have problems, go to the support web sites mentioned above
+    and read the information and documentation there.
+
+Common problems
+===============
+
+1. Packets go out on the ppp0 interface but don't come back on the cm0
+   interface.  It looks like I'm connected but I can't even ping any
+   numerical IP addresses.  (This happens predominantly on Debian systems due
+   to a default boot-time configuration script.)
+
+Solution
+   As root ``echo 0 > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/conf/cm0/rp_filter`` so it
+   can share the same IP address as the ppp0 interface.  Note that this
+   command should probably be added to the /etc/ppp/cablemodem script
+   *right*between* the "/sbin/ifconfig" and "/sbin/cmconfig" commands.
+   You may need to do this to /proc/sys/net/ipv4/conf/ppp0/rp_filter as well.
+   If you do this to /proc/sys/net/ipv4/conf/default/rp_filter on each reboot
+   (in rc.local or some such) then any interfaces can share the same IP
+   addresses.
+
+2. I get "unresolved symbol" error messages on executing ``insmod sb1000.o``.
+
+Solution
+   You probably have a non-matching kernel source tree and
+   /usr/include/linux and /usr/include/asm header files.  Make sure you
+   install the correct versions of the header files in these two directories.
+   Then rebuild and reinstall the kernel.
+
+3. When isapnp runs it reports an error, and my SB1000 card isn't working.
+
+Solution
+   There's a problem with later versions of isapnp using the "(CHECK)"
+   option in the lines that allocate the two I/O addresses for the SB1000 card.
+   This first popped up on RH 6.0.  Delete "(CHECK)" for the SB1000 I/O addresses.
+   Make sure they don't conflict with any other pieces of hardware first!  Then
+   rerun isapnp and go from there.
+
+4. I can't execute the /etc/ppp/ppp@gi-on file.
+
+Solution
+   As root do ``chmod ug+x /etc/ppp/ppp@gi-on``.
+
+5. The firewall script isn't working (with 2.2.x and higher kernels).
+
+Solution
+   Use the ipfwadm2ipchains script referenced above to convert the
+   /etc/ppp/firewall script from the deprecated ipfwadm commands to ipchains.
+
+6. I'm getting *tons* of firewall deny messages in the /var/kern.log,
+   /var/messages, and/or /var/syslog files, and they're filling up my /var
+   partition!!!
+
+Solution
+   First, tell your ISP that you're receiving DoS (Denial of Service)
+   and/or portscanning (UDP connection attempts) attacks!  Look over the deny
+   messages to figure out what the attack is and where it's coming from.  Next,
+   edit /etc/ppp/cablemodem and make sure the ",nobroadcast" option is turned on
+   to the "cmconfig" command (uncomment that line).  If you're not receiving these
+   denied packets on your broadcast interface (IP address xxx.yyy.zzz.255
+   typically), then someone is attacking your machine in particular.  Be careful
+   out there....
+
+7. Everything seems to work fine but my computer locks up after a while
+   (and typically during a lengthy download through the cable modem)!
+
+Solution
+   You may need to add a short delay in the driver to 'slow down' the
+   SURFboard because your PC might not be able to keep up with the transfer rate
+   of the SB1000. To do this, it's probably best to download Franco's
+   sb1000-1.1.2.tar.gz archive and build and install sb1000.o manually.  You'll
+   want to edit the 'Makefile' and look for the 'SB1000_DELAY'
+   define.  Uncomment those 'CFLAGS' lines (and comment out the default ones)
+   and try setting the delay to something like 60 microseconds with:
+   '-DSB1000_DELAY=60'.  Then do ``make`` and as root ``make install`` and try
+   it out.  If it still doesn't work or you like playing with the driver, you may
+   try other numbers.  Remember though that the higher the delay, the slower the
+   driver (which slows down the rest of the PC too when it is actively
+   used). Thanks to Ed Daiga for this tip!
