To apply a patch, navigate to kernel source directory (typically, it'll
be named linux-2.6.18 or similar) and execute

	patch -p1 < path-to-patch-file

After applying the patch, you'll need to alter the kernel config file 
(using, say, make menuconfig) to select Attansic L1 support.  It's at

Device Drivers
	|
	+->Network device support
		|
		+->Ethernet (1000 Mbit)
			|
			+-> <M> Attansic(R) L1 Gigabit Ethernet support

We recommend you build it as a module.

By installing the module this way, you will have tainted your kernel.
If you encounter problems, don't blame the kernel -- it might well be
the Attansic driver.  This thing is HIGHLY EXPERIMENTAL right now and
might cause problems.
