[NET]: Remove Documentation/networking/pt.txt
There's no no point in keeping documentation for a driver that was removed many years ago. Signed-off-by: Adrian Bunk <bunk@kernel.org> Acked-by: Alan Cox <alan@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>

1This is the README for the Gracilis Packetwin device driver, version 0.5
2ALPHA for Linux 1.3.43.
3
4These files will allow you to talk to the PackeTwin (now know as PT) and
5connect through it just like a pair of TNCs. To do this you will also
6require the AX.25 code in the kernel enabled.
7
8There are four files in this archive; this readme, a patch file, a .c file
9and finally a .h file. The two program files need to be put into the
10drivers/net directory in the Linux source tree, for me this is the
11directory /usr/src/linux/drivers/net. The patch file needs to be patched in
12at the top of the Linux source tree (/usr/src/linux in my case).
13
14You will most probably have to edit the pt.c file to suit your own setup,
15this should just involve changing some of the defines at the top of the file.
16Please note that if you run an external modem you must specify a speed of 0.
17
18The program is currently setup to run a 4800 baud external modem on port A
19and a Kantronics DE-9600 daughter board on port B so if you have this (or
20something similar) then you're right.
21
22To compile in the driver, put the files in the correct place and patch in
23the diff. You will have to re-configure the kernel again before you
24recompile it.
25
26The driver is not real good at the moment for finding the card. You can
27'help' it by changing the order of the potential addresses in the structure
28found in the pt_init() function so the address of where the card is is put
29first.
30
31After compiling, you have to get them going, they are pretty well like any
32other net device and just need ifconfig to get them going.
33As an example, here is my /etc/rc.net
34--------------------------

51
52This version of the driver comes under the GNU GPL. If you have one of my
53previous (non-GPL) versions of the driver, please update to this one.
54
55I hope that this all works well for you. I would be pleased to hear how
56many people use the driver and if it does its job.
