2015-06-23	drivers/net: remove all references to obsolete Ethernet-HOWTO	Paul Gortmaker	1	-3/+1
	This howto made sense in the 1990s when users had to manually configure ISA cards with jumpers or vendor utilities, but with the implementation of PCI it became increasingly less and less relevant, to the point where it has been well over a decade since I last updated it. And there is no value in anyone else taking over updating it either. However the references to it continue to spread as boiler plate text from one Kconfig file into the next. We are not doing end users any favours by pointing them at this old document, so lets kill it with fire, once and for all, to hopefully stop any further spread. No code is changed in this commit, just Kconfig help text. Signed-off-by: Paul Gortmaker <paul.gortmaker@windriver.com> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
2015-02-11	et131x: use msecs_to_jiffies for conversions	Nicholas Mc Guire	1	-2/+4
	This is only an API consolidation and should make things more readable. Converting milliseconds to jiffies by "val * HZ / 1000" is technically OK but msecs_to_jiffies(val) is the cleaner solution and handles all corner cases correctly. This is a minor API cleanup only.

2014-10-03	et131x: Add PCIe gigabit ethernet driver et131x to drivers/net	Mark Einon	4	-0/+5590
	This adds the ethernet driver for Agere et131x devices to drivers/net/ethernet. The driver being added has been in the staging tree for some time, and will be removed from there in a seperate patch. This one merely disables the staging version to prevent two instances being built. Signed-off-by: Mark Einon <mark.einon@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
