networking/cs89x0.txt: delete stale information about hand patching
Output of a git grep happened to make me look into this file, and I found instructions about how to hand patch (without using patch) the driver into the kernel tree. Since the driver has been a part of the mainline kernel for years, we can dump this whole section. Fortunately it doesn't even cause a renumbering of the sections to do so.

3674.4 COMPILING THE DRIVER INTO THE KERNEL
368
369If your Linux distribution already has support for the cs89x0 driver
370then simply copy the source file to the /usr/src/linux/drivers/net
371directory to replace the original ones and run the make utility to
372rebuild the kernel. See Step 3 for rebuilding the kernel.
373
374If your Linux does not include the cs89x0 driver, you need to edit three
375configuration files, copy the source file to the /usr/src/linux/drivers/net
376directory, and then run the make utility to rebuild the kernel.
377
3781. Edit the following configuration files by adding the statements as
379indicated. (When possible, try to locate the added text to the section of the
380file containing similar statements).
381
382
383a.) In /usr/src/linux/drivers/net/Config.in, add:
384
385tristate 'CS89x0 support' CONFIG_CS89x0
386
387Example:
388
389 if [ "$CONFIG_EXPERIMENTAL" = "y" ]; then
390 tristate 'ICL EtherTeam 16i/32 support' CONFIG_ETH16I
391 fi
392
393 tristate 'CS89x0 support' CONFIG_CS89x0
394
395 tristate 'NE2000/NE1000 support' CONFIG_NE2000
396 if [ "$CONFIG_EXPERIMENTAL" = "y" ]; then
397 tristate 'NI5210 support' CONFIG_NI52
398
399
400b.) In /usr/src/linux/drivers/net/Makefile, add the following lines:
401
402ifeq ($(CONFIG_CS89x0),y)
403L_OBJS += cs89x0.o
404else
405 ifeq ($(CONFIG_CS89x0),m)
406 M_OBJS += cs89x0.o
407 endif
408endif
409
410
411c.) In /linux/drivers/net/Space.c file, add the line:
412
413extern int cs89x0_probe(struct device *dev);
414
415
416Example:
417
418 extern int ultra_probe(struct device *dev);
419 extern int wd_probe(struct device *dev);
420 extern int el2_probe(struct device *dev);
421
422 extern int cs89x0_probe(struct device *dev);
423
424 extern int ne_probe(struct device *dev);
425 extern int hp_probe(struct device *dev);
426 extern int hp_plus_probe(struct device *dev);
427
428
429Also add:
430
431 #ifdef CONFIG_CS89x0
432 { cs89x0_probe,0 },
433 #endif
434
435
4362.) Copy the driver source files (cs89x0.c and cs89x0.h)
437into the /usr/src/linux/drivers/net directory.
438
439
4403.) Go to /usr/src/linux directory and run 'make config' followed by 'make'
441(or make bzImage) to rebuild the kernel.
442
4434.) Use the DOS 'setup' utility to disable plug and play on the NIC.
