+This is the network interface controller portion of the libchip library.
+This directory contains the source code for reusable TCP/IP network driver
+support code. Each driver has its own configuration table and its
+chip specific attach routine must be called by a board specific
+attach routine. The board specific chip routine passes the chip
+configuration and network configuration to the resuable device driver.
+
+The reusable chip drivers do not directly access the controller.
+They access the registers on the controller via a set of
+functions which are provided by the BSP. These functions set and get
+general registers and data buffers.
