drivers/net: remove all references to obsolete Ethernet-HOWTO

2015-06-23T13:50:35Z

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 Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

drivers: net: ethernet: 8390: Kconfig: add H8300H_AKI3068NET and H8300H_H8MAX dependancy for NE_H8300

2013-09-04T02:36:59Z

Currently only H8300H_AKI3068NET and H8300H_H8MAX define default I/O base and IRQ values for the NE_H8300 driver. Hence builds for other H8300H platforms will fail as per below. Since H8300H does not support multi platform builds, we simply limit building the driver to those two platforms specifically.

drivers/net: delete the really obsolete 8390 based 10Mbit ISA drivers

2013-01-22T15:39:54Z

This is an area I know all too well, after being author of several 8390 drivers, and maintainer of all 8390 drivers during a large part of their active lifecycle. To that end, I can say this with a reasonable degree of confidence. The drivers deleted here represent the earliest (as in early 1990) hardware and/or rare hardware. The remaining hardware not deleted here is the more modern/sane of the lot, with ISA-PnP and jumperless "soft configuration" like the wd and smc cards had. The original ne2000 driver (ne.c) gets a pass at this time since AT/LANTIC based cards that could be both ne2000 or wd-like (with shared memory) and with jumperless configuration were made in the mid to late 1990's, and performed reasonably well for their era.

drivers/net/ethernet/8390: remove depends on CONFIG_EXPERIMENTAL

2013-01-11T19:38:07Z

The CONFIG_EXPERIMENTAL config item has not carried much meaning for a while now and is almost always enabled by default. As agreed during the Linux kernel summit, remove it from any "depends on" lines in Kconfigs. CC: "David S.

drivers/net: delete 8390 based EISA drivers.

2013-01-07T15:24:26Z

The NS8390 chip was essentially the 1st widespread PC ethernet chip, starting its life on 8 bit ISA cards in the late 1980s. Even with better technologies available (bus mastering etc) the 8390 managed to get used on a few rare EISA cards in the early to mid 1990s. The EISA bus in the x86 world was largely confined to systems ranging from 486 to 586 (essentially 200MHz or lower, and less than 100MB RAM) -- i.e. machines unlikely to be still in service, and even less likely to be running a 3.9+ kernel. On top of that, only one of the five really ever was considered non-experimental; the smc-ultra32 was the one -- since it was largely just an EISA version of the popular smc-ultra ISA card. All the others had such a tiny user base that they simply never could be considered anything more than experimental. Signed-off-by: Paul Gortmaker

drivers/net: remove orphaned references to micro channel

2013-01-07T05:13:33Z

We threw away the microchannel support, but the removal wasn't completely trivial since there was namespace overlap with the machine check support, and hence some orphaned dependencies survived the deletion. This attempts to sweep those up and send them to the bit-bucket. Signed-off-by: Paul Gortmaker Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

net: add support for NS8390 based eth controllers on some ColdFire CPU boards

2012-07-12T14:54:45Z

A number of older ColdFire CPU based boards use NS8390 based network controllers. Most use the Davicom 9008F or the UMC 9008F. This driver provides the support code to get these devices working on these platforms. Generally the NS8390 based eth device is direct connected via the general purpose bus of the ColdFire CPU. So its addressing and interrupt setup is fixed on each of the different platforms (classic platform setup). This driver is based on the other drivers/net/ethernet/8390 drivers, and includes the lib8390.c code. It uses the existing definitions of the board NS8390 device addresses, interrupts and access types from the arch/m68k/include/asm/mcf8390.h, but moves the IO access functions into the driver code and out of that header.
