The Kconfig for Intel NICs references two different URLs for the "Adapter & Driver ID Guide". Neither of those two links works. The current URL seems to be http://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/support/network-and-i-o/ethernet-products/000005584.html but given it's apparently constantly changing, there's no point in having it in the help text. Just keep a generic pointer to http://support.intel.com. Hopefully, this one will have a longer live. It still works, at least. Furthermore, remove a link to "the latest Intel PRO/100 network driver for Linux", this has no place in the mainline kernel and the latest Linux driver it offers is from 2006, anyway.

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 Intel cards. If you say Y, you will be asked for

This driver supports Intel(R) PRO/100 family of adapters.
|
|
To verify that your adapter is supported, find the board ID number

on the adapter. Look for a label that has a barcode and a number
|
|
in the format 123456-001 (six digits hyphen three digits).
|
|
|

Use the above information and the Adapter & Driver ID Guide that
