2022-07-05	eth: remove neterion/vxge	Jakub Kicinski	1	-115/+0
	The last meaningful change to this driver was made by Jon in 2011. As much as we'd like to believe that this is because the code is perfect the chances are nobody is using this hardware. Because of the size of this driver there is a nontrivial maintenance cost to keeping this code around, in the last 2 years we're averaging more than 1 change a month. Some of which require nontrivial review effort, see commit 877fe9d49b74 ("Revert "drivers/net/ethernet/neterion/vxge: Fix a use-after-free bug in vxge-main.c"") for example. Let's try to remove this driver. In general, IMHO, we need to establish a clear path for shedding dead code. It will be hard to unless we have some experience trying to delete stuff.

2020-06-26	docs: networking: reorganize driver documentation again	Jakub Kicinski	1	-0/+115
	Organize driver documentation by device type. Most documents have fairly verbose yet uninformative names, so let users first select a well defined device type, and then search for a particular driver. While at it rename the section from Vendor drivers to Hardware drivers. This seems more accurate, besides people sometimes refer to out-of-tree drivers as vendor drivers.
