395 This is a driver for the General Instrument (also known as
396 NextLevel) SURFboard 1000 internal
397 cable modem. This is an ISA card which is used by a number of cable
398 TV companies to provide cable modem access. It's a one-way
399 downstream-only cable modem, meaning that your upstream net link is
400 provided by your regular phone modem.
401
402 At present this driver only compiles as a module, so say M here if
403 you have this card. The module will be called sb1000. Then read
Jakub Kicinskib255e502018-12-03 17:43:28 -0800404 <file:Documentation/networking/device_drivers/sb1000.txt> for
405 information on how to use this module, as it needs special ppp
406 scripts for establishing a connection. Further documentation
