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.

This configures the first found 3c509 card for IRQ 10, base I/O 0x310, and
49
transceiver type 3 (10base2). The flag "0x3c509" must be set to avoid conflicts
50
with other card types when overriding the I/O address. When the driver is
51
-
loaded as a module, only the IRQ and transceiver setting may be overridden.
52

For example, setting two cards to 10base2/IRQ10 and AUI/IRQ11 is done by using
53
-
the xcvr and irq module options:

options 3c509 xcvr=3,1 irq=10,11

duplex-capable Ethernet switch (*not* a hub), or a full-duplex-capable NIC on
