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

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:

To compile this driver as a module, choose M here. The module
|
|
will be called myri10ge.

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.
