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.

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 WIZnet devices. If you say Y, you will be asked
for your specific card in the following questions.

Support for WIZnet W5100 chips.
W5100 is a single chip with integrated 10/100 Ethernet MAC,
PHY and hardware TCP/IP stack, but this driver is limited to
the MAC and PHY functions only, onchip TCP/IP is unused.
To compile this driver as a module, choose M here: the module
will be called w5100.

In direct address mode host system can directly access all registers
after mapping to Memory-Mapped I/O space.

In indirect address mode host system indirectly accesses registers
using Indirect Mode Address Register and Indirect Mode Data Register,
which are directly mapped to Memory-Mapped I/O space.

---help---
If interface mode is unknown in compile time, it can be selected
in runtime from board/platform resources configuration.
Performance may decrease compared to explicitly selected bus mode.
