    drivers/net: delete the really obsolete 8390 based 10Mbit ISA drivers · fce3cd45
    Paul Gortmaker authored
    This is an area I know all too well, after being author of several 8390
    drivers, and maintainer of all 8390 drivers during a large part of their
    active lifecycle.
    
    To that end, I can say this with a reasonable degree of confidence.
    The drivers deleted here represent the earliest (as in early 1990)
    hardware and/or rare hardware.  The remaining hardware not deleted
    here is the more modern/sane of the lot, with ISA-PnP and jumperless
    "soft configuration" like the wd and smc cards had.
    
    The original ne2000 driver (ne.c) gets a pass at this time since
    AT/LANTIC based cards that could be both ne2000 or wd-like (with
    shared memory) and with jumperless configuration were made in the
    mid to late 1990's, and performed reasonably well for their era.
