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

---help---

|
Say Y here if you have an Adaptec Starfire (or DuraLAN) PCI network
|
|
adapter. The DuraLAN chip is used on the 64 bit PCI boards from
|
|
Adaptec e.g. the ANA-6922A. The older 32 bit boards use the tulip
|
|
driver.
|
|
|
|
To compile this driver as a module, choose M here: the module
|
|
will be called starfire. This is recommended.
