net: documentation: build a directory structure for drivers

2018-12-05T19:30:06+00:00

Documentation/networking/ is full of cryptically named files with driver documentation. This makes finding interesting information at a glance really hard. Move all those files into a directory called device_drivers (since not all drivers are for device) and fix up references. RFC v0.1 -> RFC v1: - also add .txt suffix to the files which are missing it (Quentin) Signed-off-by: Jakub Kicinski Reviewed-by: Quentin Monnet Acked-by: David Ahern Acked-by: Henrik Austad Signed-off-by: David S.

net: change Exar/Neterion menu items to be alphabetical

2018-08-01T16:49:02+00:00

Neterion was standalone for several years, then acquired by Exar and shutdown in 11 months without ever making any new Exar branded adapters. Users would probably think of them as Neterion and not Exar (as there have been no follow-on adapters and the vast majority ever sold were under the Neterion name). 6c541b4595a2 ("net: ethernet: Sort Kconfig sourcing alphabetically") sorted Kconfig sourcing based on directory names, but in a couple cases, the menu item text is quite different from the directory name and is not sorted correctly: drivers/net/ethernet/neterion/Kconfig => "Exar devices" To address that and clear up any confusion about the name, "Exar" was changed to "Neterion (Exar)" and the relevant entries in the Makefile and Kconfig were reordered to match the alphabetical organization.

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

2015-06-23T13:50:35+00:00

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

net: Remove bogus dependencies on INET

2012-11-20T00:13:59+00:00

Various drivers depend on INET because they used to select INET_LRO, but they have all been converted to use GRO which has no such dependency. Signed-off-by: Ben Hutchings Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

drivers/net/ethernet/*: Enabled vendor Kconfig options

2011-08-27T07:58:56+00:00

Based on finds for Stephen Rothwell, where current defconfig's enable a ethernet driver and it is not compiled due to the newly added NET_VENDOR_* component of Kconfig. This patch enables all the "new" Kconfig options so that current defconfig's will continue to compile the expected drivers. In addition, by enabling all the new Kconfig options does not add any un-expected options. CC: Stephen Rothwll Signed-off-by: Jeff Kirsher

s2io/vxge: Move the Exar drivers

Move the Exar drivers into drivers/net/ethernet/neterion/ and make the necessary Kconfig and Makefile changes. CC: Jon Mason Signed-off-by: Jeff Kirsher
