drivers/net: delete ISA intel eexpress and eepro i825xx drivers
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
These old drivers should not be confused with the very common PCI
cards that are supported by e100.c -- these older 10Mbit ISA only
drivers were not as commonly used as some of the other ISA drivers,
simply due to hardware availability and pricing.

Given the rarity of the hardware, and the subsequent less extensive
use of the drivers, it makes sense to obsolete them at this point
in time, along with other rare/experimental ISA drivers.

If you have an EtherExpress16 network (Ethernet) card, say Y and
read the Ethernet-HOWTO, available from
<http://www.tldp.org/docs.html#howto>. Note that the Intel
EtherExpress16 card used to be regarded as a very poor choice
because the driver was very unreliable. We now have a new driver
that should do better.

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

If you have a network (Ethernet) card of this type, say Y. This
driver supports Intel i82595{FX,TX} based boards. Note however
that the EtherExpress PRO/100 Ethernet card has its own separate
