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

---help---
|
|
Power Macintoshes and clones with Ethernet built-in on the
|
|
motherboard will usually use a MACE (Medium Access Control for
|
|
Ethernet) interface. Say Y to include support for the MACE chip.
|
|
|
|
To compile this driver as a module, choose M here: the module
|
|
will be called mace.

|

config MACE_AAUI_PORT
|

bool "Use AAUI port instead of TP by default"
|
|
depends on MACE
|
|
---help---
|
|
Some Apple machines (notably the Apple Network Server) which use the
|
|
MACE ethernet chip have an Apple AUI port (small 15-pin connector),
|
|
instead of an 8-pin RJ45 connector for twisted-pair ethernet. Say
|
|
Y here if you have such a machine. If unsure, say N.
|
|
The driver will default to AAUI on ANS anyway, and if you use it as
|
|
a module, you can provide the port_aaui=0|1 to force the driver.

Say Y for support of BMAC Ethernet interfaces. These are used on G3
|
|
computers.
|
|
|
|
To compile this driver as a module, choose M here: the module
|
|
will be called bmac.

say Y here.
