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.

commit 88491d8103 ("drivers/net: Kconfig
& Makefile cleanup") changed the type of these options to bool, but
they select code that could (and still can) be built as modules.

The is does a general cleanup of the drivers/net/ Kconfig and
Makefile. This patch create a "core" option and places all
the networking core drivers into this option (default is yes
for this option). In addition, it alphabitizes the Kconfig
driver options.
As a side cleanup, found that the arcnet, token ring, and PHY
Kconfig options were a tri-state option and should have been
a bool option.

Move the COM20020 PCMICA Arcnet driver into drivers/net/arcnet/ with
the other Arcnet drivers. Made the necessary Kconfig and Makefile
changes as well.
Since this was the "last" PCMCIA driver in drivers/net/pcmcia/, this patch
also cleans up the references to drivers/net/pcmcia.

When I removed net-modules.txt because it only contained ancient
information I missed that many Kconfig entries pointed to this ancient
information.

Use menuconfigs instead of menus, so the whole menu can be disabled at
once instead of going through all options.

Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history,
even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git
archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about
3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early
git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good
infrastructure for it.
Let it rip!
