The last meaningful change to this driver was made by Jon in 2011.
As much as we'd like to believe that this is because the code is
perfect the chances are nobody is using this hardware.
Because of the size of this driver there is a nontrivial maintenance
cost to keeping this code around, in the last 2 years we're averaging
more than 1 change a month. Some of which require nontrivial review
effort, see commit 877fe9d49b ("Revert "drivers/net/ethernet/neterion/vxge:
Fix a use-after-free bug in vxge-main.c"") for example.
Let's try to remove this driver. In general, IMHO, we need to
establish a clear path for shedding dead code. It will be hard
to unless we have some experience trying to delete stuff.

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 Neterion/Exar cards. If you say Y, you will be
|
|
asked for your specific card in the following questions.

help
|
|
This driver supports Exar Corp's Xframe Series 10Gb Ethernet Adapters.
|
|
These were originally released from S2IO, which renamed itself
|
|
Neterion. So, the adapters might be labeled as either one, depending
|
|
on its age.
|
|
|
|
More specific information on configuring the driver is in
|
|
<file:Documentation/networking/device_drivers/ethernet/neterion/s2io.rst>.
|
|
|
|
To compile this driver as a module, choose M here. The module
|
|
will be called s2io.
