drivers/net: delete old 8bit ISA 3c501 driver.
It was amusing that linux was able to make use of this 1980's technology on machines long past its intended lifespan, but it probably should go now. To set some context, the 3c501 was designed in the 1980's to be used on 8088 PC-XT 8bit ISA machines. It was built using a large number of discrete TTL components and truly looks like a relic of the ancient past before large scale integration was common. But from a functional point of view, the real issue, as stated in the (also obsolete) Ethernet-HowTo, is that "...the 3c501 can only do one thing at a time -- while you are removing one packet from the single-packet buffer it cannot receive another packet, nor can it receive a packet while loading a transmit packet." You know things are not good when the Kconfig help text suggests you make a cron job doing a ping every minute. Hardware that old and crippled is simply not going to be used by anyone in a time where 10 year old 100Mbit PCI cards (that are still functional) are largely give-away items.

- This is a device driver for the 3Com Etherlink 3c501.
- Do not purchase this card, even as a joke. It's performance is horrible,
- and it breaks in many ways.

- Fixed (again!) the missing interrupt locking on TX/RX shifting.
- Alan Cox <alan@lxorguk.ukuu.org.uk>
-
- Removed calls to init_etherdev since they are no longer needed, and
- cleaned up modularization just a bit. The driver still allows only
- the default address for cards when loaded as a module, but that's
- really less braindead than anyone using a 3c501 board. :)
- 19950208 (invid@msen.com)
-
- Added traps for interrupts hitting the window as we clear and TX load
- the board. Now getting 150K/second FTP with a 3c501 card. Still playing
- with a TX-TX optimisation to see if we can touch 180-200K/second as seems
- theoretically maximum.
- 19950402 Alan Cox <alan@lxorguk.ukuu.org.uk>
-
- Cleaned up for 2.3.x because we broke SMP now.

- * DOC: 3c501 Card Notes
- *
- * Some notes on this thing if you have to hack it. [Alan]
- *
- * Some documentation is available from 3Com. Due to the boards age
- * standard responses when you ask for this will range from 'be serious'
- * to 'give it to a museum'. The documentation is incomplete and mostly
- * of historical interest anyway.
- *
- * The basic system is a single buffer which can be used to receive or
- * transmit a packet. A third command mode exists when you are setting
- * things up.
- *
- * If it's transmitting it's not receiving and vice versa. In fact the
- * time to get the board back into useful state after an operation is
- * quite large.
- *
- * The driver works by keeping the board in receive mode waiting for a
- * packet to arrive. When one arrives it is copied out of the buffer
- * and delivered to the kernel. The card is reloaded and off we go.
- *
- * When transmitting lp->txing is set and the card is reset (from
- * receive mode) [possibly losing a packet just received] to command
- * mode. A packet is loaded and transmit mode triggered. The interrupt
- * handler runs different code for transmit interrupts and can handle
- * returning to receive mode or retransmissions (yes you have to help
- * out with those too).
- *
- * DOC: Problems
- *
- * There are a wide variety of undocumented error returns from the card
- * and you basically have to kick the board and pray if they turn up. Most
- * only occur under extreme load or if you do something the board doesn't
- * like (eg touching a register at the wrong time).
- *
- * The driver is less efficient than it could be. It switches through
- * receive mode even if more transmits are queued. If this worries you buy
- * a real Ethernet card.
- *
- * The combination of slow receive restart and no real multicast
- * filter makes the board unusable with a kernel compiled for IP
- * multicasting in a real multicast environment. That's down to the board,
- * but even with no multicast programs running a multicast IP kernel is
- * in group 224.0.0.1 and you will therefore be listening to all multicasts.
- * One nv conference running over that Ethernet and you can give up.
