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 does not directly affect the
kernel: saying N will just cause the configurator to skip all
the questions about these devices. If you say Y, you will be asked for
your specific card in the following questions.

---help---
If you have an Acorn system with one of these (AKA25) network cards,
you should say Y to this option if you wish to use it with Linux.

tristate "BVME6000 Ethernet support"
depends on BVME6000
---help---
This is the driver for the Ethernet interface on BVME4000 and
BVME6000 VME boards. Say Y here to include the driver for this chip
in your kernel.
To compile this driver as a module, choose M here.
config LASI_82596
tristate "Lasi ethernet"

---help---
Say Y here to support the builtin Intel 82596 ethernet controller
found in Hewlett-Packard PA-RISC machines with 10Mbit ethernet.
config MVME16x_NET

depends on MVME16x
---help---
This is the driver for the Ethernet interface on the Motorola
MVME162, 166, 167, 172 and 177 boards. Say Y here to include the
driver for this chip in your kernel.
To compile this driver as a module, choose M here.
config SNI_82596

---help---
Say Y here to support the on-board Intel 82596 ethernet controller
built into SNI RM machines.

---help---
This driver enables support for the on-board Intel 82586 based
Ethernet adapter found on Sun 3/1xx and 3/2xx motherboards. Note
that this driver does not support 82586-based adapters on additional
VME boards.
