Subject: [PATCH] Documentation/3c509: document ethtool support
|
|
|
|
3c509 was changed to support ethtool in 2002, making the 'xcvr' module
|
|
parameter obsolete in most cases. More recently 3c509 was converted
|
|
to the modern driver model and this parameter was removed. Fix the
|
|
documentation to refer to ethtool rather than the module parameter.
