Paul Gortmaker 138b15ed87 drivers/net: remove all references to obsolete Ethernet-HOWTO
This howto made sense in the 1990s when users had to manually configure
ISA cards with jumpers or vendor utilities, but with the implementation
of PCI it became increasingly less and less relevant, to the point where
it has been well over a decade since I last updated it.  And there is
no value in anyone else taking over updating it either.

However the references to it continue to spread as boiler plate text
from one Kconfig file into the next.  We are not doing end users any
favours by pointing them at this old document, so lets kill it with
fire, once and for all, to hopefully stop any further spread.

No code is changed in this commit, just Kconfig help text.

config NET_VENDOR_NATSEMI
bool "National Semi-conductor devices"
default y
---help---
If you have a network (Ethernet) card belonging to this class, say Y.
Note that the answer to this question doesn't directly affect the
kernel: saying N will just cause the configurator to skip all
the questions about National Semi-conductor devices. If you say Y,
you will be asked for your specific card in the following questions.
if NET_VENDOR_NATSEMI
config MACSONIC
tristate "Macintosh SONIC based ethernet (onboard, NuBus, LC, CS)"
depends on MAC
---help---
Support for NatSemi SONIC based Ethernet devices. This includes
the onboard Ethernet in many Quadras as well as some LC-PDS,
a few Nubus and all known Comm Slot Ethernet cards. If you have
one of these say Y here.
To compile this driver as a module, choose M here. This module will
be called macsonic.
config MIPS_JAZZ_SONIC
tristate "MIPS JAZZ onboard SONIC Ethernet support"
depends on MACH_JAZZ
---help---
This is the driver for the onboard card of MIPS Magnum 4000,
Acer PICA, Olivetti M700-10 and a few other identical OEM systems.
config NATSEMI
tristate "National Semiconductor DP8381x series PCI Ethernet support"
depends on PCI
select CRC32
---help---
This driver is for the National Semiconductor DP83810 series,
which is used in cards from PureData, NetGear, Linksys
and others, including the 83815 chip.
More specific information and updates are available from
<http://www.scyld.com/network/natsemi.html>.
config NS83820
tristate "National Semiconductor DP83820 support"
depends on PCI
---help---
This is a driver for the National Semiconductor DP83820 series
of gigabit ethernet MACs. Cards using this chipset include
the D-Link DGE-500T, PureData's PDP8023Z-TG, SMC's SMC9462TX,
SOHO-GA2000T, SOHO-GA2500T. The driver supports the use of
zero copy.
config XTENSA_XT2000_SONIC
tristate "Xtensa XT2000 onboard SONIC Ethernet support"
depends on XTENSA_PLATFORM_XT2000
---help---
This is the driver for the onboard card of the Xtensa XT2000 board.
