networking/cs89x0.txt: delete stale information about hand patching
Output of a git grep happened to make me look into this file, and I found instructions about how to hand patch (without using patch) the driver into the kernel tree. Since the driver has been a part of the mainline kernel for years, we can dump this whole section. Fortunately it doesn't even cause a renumbering of the sections to do so.

@ -364,84 +363,6 @@ The compile-time optionality for DMA was removed in the 2.3 kernel
|
|||
series. DMA support is now unconditionally part of the driver. It is
|
||||
enabled by the 'use_dma=1' module option.
|
||||
|
||||
4.4 COMPILING THE DRIVER INTO THE KERNEL
|
||||
|
||||
If your Linux distribution already has support for the cs89x0 driver
|
||||
then simply copy the source file to the /usr/src/linux/drivers/net
|
||||
directory to replace the original ones and run the make utility to
|
||||
rebuild the kernel. See Step 3 for rebuilding the kernel.
|
||||
|
||||
If your Linux does not include the cs89x0 driver, you need to edit three
|
||||
configuration files, copy the source file to the /usr/src/linux/drivers/net
|
||||
directory, and then run the make utility to rebuild the kernel.
|
||||
|
||||
1. Edit the following configuration files by adding the statements as
|
||||
indicated. (When possible, try to locate the added text to the section of the
|
||||
file containing similar statements).
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
a.) In /usr/src/linux/drivers/net/Config.in, add:
|
||||
|
||||
tristate 'CS89x0 support' CONFIG_CS89x0
|
||||
|
||||
Example:
|
||||
|
||||
if [ "$CONFIG_EXPERIMENTAL" = "y" ]; then
|
||||
tristate 'ICL EtherTeam 16i/32 support' CONFIG_ETH16I
|
||||
fi
|
||||
|
||||
tristate 'CS89x0 support' CONFIG_CS89x0
|
||||
|
||||
tristate 'NE2000/NE1000 support' CONFIG_NE2000
|
||||
if [ "$CONFIG_EXPERIMENTAL" = "y" ]; then
|
||||
tristate 'NI5210 support' CONFIG_NI52
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
b.) In /usr/src/linux/drivers/net/Makefile, add the following lines:
|
||||
|
||||
ifeq ($(CONFIG_CS89x0),y)
|
||||
L_OBJS += cs89x0.o
|
||||
else
|
||||
ifeq ($(CONFIG_CS89x0),m)
|
||||
M_OBJS += cs89x0.o
|
||||
endif
|
||||
endif
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
c.) In /linux/drivers/net/Space.c file, add the line:
|
||||
|
||||
extern int cs89x0_probe(struct device *dev);
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
Example:
|
||||
|
||||
extern int ultra_probe(struct device *dev);
|
||||
extern int wd_probe(struct device *dev);
|
||||
extern int el2_probe(struct device *dev);
|
||||
|
||||
extern int cs89x0_probe(struct device *dev);
|
||||
|
||||
extern int ne_probe(struct device *dev);
|
||||
extern int hp_probe(struct device *dev);
|
||||
extern int hp_plus_probe(struct device *dev);
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
Also add:
|
||||
|
||||
#ifdef CONFIG_CS89x0
|
||||
{ cs89x0_probe,0 },
|
||||
#endif
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
2.) Copy the driver source files (cs89x0.c and cs89x0.h)
|
||||
into the /usr/src/linux/drivers/net directory.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
3.) Go to /usr/src/linux directory and run 'make config' followed by 'make'
|
||||
(or make bzImage) to rebuild the kernel.
|
||||
|
||||
4.) Use the DOS 'setup' utility to disable plug and play on the NIC.
