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>

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

This is a network (Ethernet) device which attaches to your parallel

port. Read the file <file:drivers/net/ethernet/realtek/atp.c>
|
|
if you want to use this. If you intend to use this driver, you
|
|
should have said N to the "Parallel printer support", because the two

|
drivers don't like each other.

---help---
|
|
This instructs the driver to use programmed I/O ports (PIO) instead
|
|
of PCI shared memory (MMIO). This can possibly solve some problems
|
|
in case your mainboard has memory consistency issues. If unsure,
|
|
say N.

---help---
|
|
This implements a function which might come in handy in case you
|
|
are using low quality on long cabling. It is required for RealTek
|
|
RTL-8139 revision K boards, and totally unused otherwise. It tries
|
|
to match the transceiver to the cable characteristics. This is
|
|
experimental since hardly documented by the manufacturer.

If unsure, say Y.

|
|
This enables support for the older and uncommon RTL-8129 and
|
|
RTL-8130 chips, which support MII via an external transceiver,
|
|
instead of an internal one. Disabling this option will save some
|
|
memory by making the code size smaller. If unsure, say Y.

The 8139too driver was recently updated to contain a more rapid
|
|
reset sequence, in the face of severe receive errors. This "new"
|
|
RX-reset method should be adequate for all boards. But if you
|
|
experience problems, you can enable this option to restore the
|
|
old RX-reset behavior. If unsure, say N.
