Vortex 3c900 passing driver parameters

Hello

How do I do a ether=... (kernel boot-time) equivalent of insmod 3c59x.o options=0x201 full_duplex=1 ?

I have been looking in Documentation/networking/vortex.txt and make htmldocs, also on the driver homepage at Scyld and found it on none of these places.

Unfortunately you cannot. `ether=' is broken for all drivers which use the new(ish) alloc_etherdev() API.

It is due to ordering problems: the name of the interface is not known at the time of parsing the setup info and nobody has got down and worked out how to fix it.
