sk98lin: mark deprecated in Kconfig
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
sk98lin is scheduled for removal in July 2007. This patch makes the
deprecation more obvious in the configuration interface. FWIW, Gentoo have
been shipping a patch very similar to this for a long time.

Say Y here if you have a Marvell Yukon or SysKonnect SK-98xx/SK-95xx

This driver supports the original Yukon chipset. A cleaner driver is
also available (skge) which seems to work better than this one.
This driver supports the original Yukon chipset. This driver is
deprecated and will be removed from the kernel in the near future,
it has been replaced by the skge driver. skge is cleaner and
seems to work better.

This driver does not support the newer Yukon2 chipset. A separate
driver, sky2, is provided to support Yukon2-based adapters.
