Paul Gortmaker 138b15ed87 drivers/net: remove all references to obsolete Ethernet-HOWTO
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.

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 SiS devices. If you say Y, you will be asked for
your specific card in the following questions.
if NET_VENDOR_SIS
config SIS900
tristate "SiS 900/7016 PCI Fast Ethernet Adapter support"
depends on PCI
select CRC32
select MII
---help---
This is a driver for the Fast Ethernet PCI network cards based on
the SiS 900 and SiS 7016 chips. The SiS 900 core is also embedded in
SiS 630 and SiS 540 chipsets.
This driver also supports AMD 79C901 HomePNA so that you can use
your phone line as a network cable.
To compile this driver as a module, choose M here: the module
will be called sis900. This is recommended.
config SIS190
tristate "SiS190/SiS191 gigabit ethernet support"
depends on PCI
select CRC32
select MII
---help---
Say Y here if you have a SiS 190 PCI Fast Ethernet adapter or
a SiS 191 PCI Gigabit Ethernet adapter. Both are expected to
appear in lan on motherboard designs which are based on SiS 965
and SiS 966 south bridge.
To compile this driver as a module, choose M here: the module
will be called sis190. This is recommended.
