+The ICN driver either may be build into kernel or as a module. Initialization
+depends on how the drive is built:
+
+Driver built into the kernel:
+
+  The ICN driver can be configured using the commandline-feature while
+  loading the kernel with LILO or LOADLIN. It accepts the following syntax:
+
+  icn=p,m[,idstring1[,idstring2]]
+
+  where
+
+    p = portbase      (default: 0x320)
+    m = shared memory (default: 0xd0000)
+
+  When using the ICN double card (4B), you MUST define TWO idstrings.
+  idstring must start with a character! There is no way for the driver
+  to distinguish between a 2B and 4B type card. Therefore, by supplying
+  TWO idstrings, you tell the driver that you have a 4B installed.
+  
+  If you like to use more than one card, you can use the program
+  "icnctrl" from the utility-package to configure additional cards.
+  You need to configure shared memory only once, since the icn-driver
+  maps all cards into the same address-space.
+
+  Using the "icnctrl"-utility, portbase and shared memory can also be
+  changed during runtime.
+
+  The D-channel protocol is configured by loading different firmware
+  into the card's memory using the "icnctrl"-utility.
+
+
+Driver built as module:
+
+  The module icn.o can be configured during "insmod'ing" it by
+  appending its parameters to the insmod-commandline. The following
+  syntax is accepted:
+
+    portbase=p membase=m icn_id=idstring [icn_id2=idstring2]
+
+  where p, m, idstring1 and idstring2 have the same meanings like
+  parameters described for the kernel-version above.
+      
+  When using the ICN double card (4B), you MUST define TWO idstrings.
+  idstring must start with a character! There is no way for the driver
+  to distinguish between a 2B and 4B type card. Therefore, by supplying
+  TWO idstrings, you tell the driver that you have a 4B installed.
+  
+  Using the "icnctrl"-utility, the same features apply to the modularized
+  version like to the kernel-builtin one.
+
+  The D-channel protocol is configured by loading different firmware
+  into the card's memory using the "icnctrl"-utility.
+
+Loading the firmware into the card:
+
+  The firmware is supplied together with the isdn4k-utils package. It
+  can be found in the subdirectory icnctrl/firmware/
+
+  There are 3 files:
+
+    loadpg.bin   - Image of the bootstrap loader.
+    pc_1t_ca.bin - Image of firmware for german 1TR6 protocol.
+    pc_eu_ca.bin - Image if firmware for EDSS1 (Euro-ISDN) protocol.
+
+  Assumed you have installed the utility-package correctly, the firmware
+  will be downloaded into the 2B-card using the following command:
+
+    icnctrl -d Idstring load /etc/isdn/loadpg.bin /etc/isdn/pc_XX_ca.bin
+
+  where XX is either "1t" or "eu", depending of the D-Channel protocol
+  used on your S0-bus and Idstring is the Name of the card, given during
+  insmod-time or (for kernel-builtin driver) on the kernel commandline.
+
+  To load a 4B-card, the same command is used, except a second firmware
+  file is appended to the commandline of icnctrl.
+
+  -> After dowloading firmware, the two LEDs at the back cover of the card
+     (ICN-4B: 4 LEDs) must be blinking intermittently now. If a connection
+     is up, the corresponding led is lit continuously.
+
+  For further documentation (adding more ICN-cards), refer to the manpage
+  icnctrl.8 which is included in the isdn4k-utils package.
