The options FMV18X and SK_G16 do depend on the non-available CONFIG_OBSOLETE even in kernel 2.4 - IOW, the last time it was able to select them was in kernel 2.2 (or even before). Since it seems noone misses these drivers, this patch removes them. Signed-off-by: Adrian Bunk <bunk@stusta.de> Signed-off-by: Jeff Garzik <jgarzik@pobox.com>

Behaviour of Cards Under Multicast
|
|
==================================
|
|
|
|
This is how they currently behave, not what the hardware can do--for example,
|
|
the Lance driver doesn't use its filter, even though the code for loading
|
|
it is in the DEC Lance-based driver.
|
|
|
|
The following are requirements for multicasting
|
|
-----------------------------------------------
|
|
AppleTalk Multicast hardware filtering not important but
|
|
avoid cards only doing promisc
|
|
IP-Multicast Multicast hardware filters really help
|
|
IP-MRoute AllMulti hardware filters are of no help
|
|
|
|
|
|
Board Multicast AllMulti Promisc Filter

PROMISC = This multicast mode is in fact promiscuous mode. Avoid using
|
|
cards who go PROMISC on any multicast in a multicast kernel.
|
|
|
|
(#) = Hardware multicast support is not used yet.
|
|
(*) = Hardware support for Davicom 9132 chipset only.
