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. Signed-off-by: Paul Gortmaker <paul.gortmaker@windriver.com> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>

of this type. (If your card is NOT SMC EtherPower 10/100 PCI

Setting this value allows to align ring buffer descriptors into their

|
own cache lines. Value of 4 corresponds to the typical 32 byte line
|
|
(the descriptor is 16 bytes). This is necessary on systems that lack
|
|
cache coherence, an example is PowerMac 5500. Otherwise 0 is safe.

Default is 0, and range is 0 to 31.

This configures your Tulip card specifically for the card and

system cache line size type you are using.

---help---
|

Use PCI shared memory for the NIC registers, rather than going through
|
|
the Tulip's PIO (programmed I/O ports). Faster, but could produce
|
|
obscure bugs if your mainboard has memory controller timing issues.
|

If in doubt, say N.

---help---
|

NAPI is a new driver API designed to reduce CPU and interrupt load
|
|
when the driver is receiving lots of packets from the card. It is
|
|
still somewhat experimental and thus not yet enabled by default.
|
|
|
|
If your estimated Rx load is 10kpps or more, or if the card will be
|
|
deployed on potentially unfriendly networks (e.g. in a firewall),

then say Y here.

|

---help---
|
|
Use HW to reduce RX interrupts. Not strictly necessary since NAPI
|
|
reduces RX interrupts by itself. Interrupt mitigation reduces RX
|
|
interrupts even at low levels of traffic at the cost of a small
|
|
latency.

If in doubt, say Y.
