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 Myricom cards. If you say Y, you will be asked for
your specific card in the following questions.

config MYRI10GE
tristate "Myricom Myri-10G Ethernet support"

select FW_LOADER

---help---
This driver supports Myricom Myri-10G Dual Protocol interface in
Ethernet mode. If the eeprom on your board is not recent enough,
you will need a newer firmware image.
You may get this image or more information, at:
<http://www.myri.com/scs/download-Myri10GE.html>
To compile this driver as a module, choose M here. The module
will be called myri10ge.
config MYRI10GE_DCA
bool "Direct Cache Access (DCA) Support"
default y
depends on MYRI10GE && DCA && !(MYRI10GE=y && DCA=m)
---help---
Say Y here if you want to use Direct Cache Access (DCA) in the
driver. DCA is a method for warming the CPU cache before data
is used, with the intent of lessening the impact of cache misses.
