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 Intel cards. If you say Y, you will be asked for

This driver supports Intel(R) PRO/100 family of adapters.
|
|
To verify that your adapter is supported, find the board ID number
|
|
on the adapter. Look for a label that has a barcode and a number
|
|
in the format 123456-001 (six digits hyphen three digits).
|
|
|
|
Use the above information and the Adapter & Driver ID Guide at:
|
|
|
|
<http://support.intel.com/support/network/adapter/pro100/21397.htm>
|
|
|

to identify the adapter.
