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 SMC/Western Digital cards. If you say Y, you will
be asked for your specific card in the following questions.

config SMC9194
tristate "SMC 9194 support"
depends on (ISA || MAC && BROKEN)
select CRC32
---help---
This is support for the SMC9xxx based Ethernet cards. Choose this
option if you have a DELL laptop with the docking station, or
another SMC9192/9194 based chipset. Say Y if you want it compiled
into the kernel, and read the file
<file:Documentation/networking/smc9.txt>.
To compile this driver as a module, choose M here. The module
will be called smc9194.

---help---
This is a driver for SMC's 91x series of Ethernet chipsets,
including the SMC91C94 and the SMC91C111. Say Y if you want it
compiled into the kernel, and read the file
<file:Documentation/networking/smc9.txt>.
This driver is also available as a module ( = code which can be
inserted in and removed from the running kernel whenever you want).
The module will be called smc91x. If you want to compile it as a
module, say M here and read <file:Documentation/kbuild/modules.txt>.

select CRC32
select MII
---help---
Say Y here if you intend to attach an SMC 91Cxx compatible PCMCIA
(PC-card) Ethernet or Fast Ethernet card to your computer.
To compile this driver as a module, choose M here: the module will be
called smc91c92_cs. If unsure, say N.
config EPIC100
tristate "SMC EtherPower II"
depends on PCI
select CRC32
select MII
---help---
This driver is for the SMC EtherPower II 9432 PCI Ethernet NIC,
which is based on the SMC83c17x (EPIC/100).
More specific information and updates are available from
<http://www.scyld.com/network/epic100.html>.

---help---
This is a driver for SMSC's LAN911x series of Ethernet chipsets
including the new LAN9115, LAN9116, LAN9117, and LAN9118.
Say Y here if you want it compiled into the kernel.
This driver is also available as a module. The module will be
called smc911x. If you want to compile it as a module, say M
here and read <file:Documentation/kbuild/modules.txt>

Say Y here if you want support for SMSC LAN911x and LAN921x families
of ethernet controllers.
To compile this driver as a module, choose M here. The module
will be called smsc911x.
config SMSC911X_ARCH_HOOKS
def_bool n
depends on SMSC911X
---help---
If the arch enables this, it allows the arch to implement various
hooks for more comprehensive interrupt control and also to override
the source of the MAC address.
