drivers/net: delete Digital EtherWorks-3 support. 



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"

The EtherWORKS 3  driver in this distribution is  designed to  work with all

kernels   >  1.1.33   (approx)  and  includes  tools   in  the  'ewrk3tools'

subdirectory   to  allow  set   up of   the   card,  similar  to  the  MSDOS

'NICSETUP.EXE' tools provided on  the DOS drivers  disk (type 'make' in that

subdirectory to make the tools).



The supported  cards are DE203,  DE204 and DE205.  All   other cards are NOT

supported - refer to 'depca.c' for running the LANCE based network cards and

'de4x5.c'  for the  DIGITAL   Semiconductor PCI  chip  based  adapters  from

Digital.



The ability to load  this driver as a  loadable module has been included and

used extensively  during the driver  development (to save those  long reboot

sequences). To utilise this ability, you have to do 8 things:



    0) have a copy of the loadable modules code installed on your system.

    1) copy ewrk3.c from the  /linux/drivers/net directory to your favourite

    temporary directory.

    2) edit the  source code near  line 1898 to reflect  the I/O address and

    IRQ you're using.

    3) compile  ewrk3.c, but include -DMODULE in  the command line to ensure

    that the correct bits are compiled (see end of source code).

    4) if you are wanting to add a new  card, goto 5. Otherwise, recompile a

    kernel with the ewrk3 configuration turned off and reboot.

    5) insmod ewrk3.o

          [Alan Cox: Changed this so you can insmod ewrk3.o irq=x io=y]

          [Adam Kropelin: Multiple cards now supported by irq=x1,x2 io=y1,y2]

    6) run the net startup bits for your new eth?? interface manually 

    (usually /etc/rc.inet[12] at boot time). 

    7) enjoy!



    Note that autoprobing is not allowed in loadable modules - the system is

    already up and running and you're messing with interrupts.



    To unload a module, turn off the associated interface 

    'ifconfig eth?? down' then 'rmmod ewrk3'.



The performance we've  achieved so far  has been measured through the 'ttcp'

tool   at 975kB/s.  This  measures  the  total  TCP  stack performance which

includes the   card,  so don't  expect   to get   much nearer  the  1.25MB/s

theoretical Ethernet rate.





Enjoy!
