plip: Move the PLIP driver
Move the Parallel Line Internet Protocol (PLIP) driver into drivers/net/plip/ and make the necessary Kconfig and Makefile changes. CC: Niibe Yutaka <gniibe@mri.co.jp> Signed-off-by: Jeff Kirsher <jeffrey.t.kirsher@intel.com> Acked-by: Alan Cox <alan@linux.intel.com>

279 PLIP (Parallel Line Internet Protocol) is used to create a
280 reasonably fast mini network consisting of two (or, rarely, more)
281 local machines. A PLIP link from a Linux box is a popular means to
282 install a Linux distribution on a machine which doesn't have a
283 CD-ROM drive (a minimal system has to be transferred with floppies
284 first). The kernels on both machines need to have this PLIP option
285 enabled for this to work.
286
287 The PLIP driver has two modes, mode 0 and mode 1. The parallel
288 ports (the connectors at the computers with 25 holes) are connected
289 with "null printer" or "Turbo Laplink" cables which can transmit 4
290 bits at a time (mode 0) or with special PLIP cables, to be used on
291 bidirectional parallel ports only, which can transmit 8 bits at a
292 time (mode 1); you can find the wiring of these cables in
293 <file:Documentation/networking/PLIP.txt>. The cables can be up to
294 15m long. Mode 0 works also if one of the machines runs DOS/Windows
295 and has some PLIP software installed, e.g. the Crynwr PLIP packet
296 driver (<http://oak.oakland.edu/simtel.net/msdos/pktdrvr-pre.html>)
297 and winsock or NCSA's telnet.
298
299 If you want to use PLIP, say Y and read the PLIP mini-HOWTO as well
300 as the NET-3-HOWTO, both available from
301 <http://www.tldp.org/docs.html#howto>. Note that the PLIP
302 protocol has been changed and this PLIP driver won't work together
303 with the PLIP support in Linux versions 1.0.x. This option enlarges
304 your kernel by about 8 KB.
305
306 To compile this driver as a module, choose M here. The module
307 will be called plip. If unsure, say Y or M, in case you buy
308 a laptop later.
