drivers/net: delete Digital EtherWorks-3 support.
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
This is another one that makes sense to target for obsolescence, since
it (a)appeared pre-1995, and (b)was rather rare, and (c)did not
really have any statistically significant active linux user base.

Removing this ISA 10Mbit driver support is unlikely to be even noticed
by the user base of 3.9+ linux kernels, especially when the documentation
clearly indicates the vintage with this text:

	 "...designed to  work with all kernels > 1.1.33"

This driver supports the DE203, DE204 and DE205 network (Ethernet)
cards. If this is for you, say Y and read
<file:Documentation/networking/ewrk3.txt> in the kernel source as
well as the Ethernet-HOWTO, available from
<http://www.tldp.org/docs.html#howto>.

To compile this driver as a module, choose M here. The module
will be called ewrk3.
