[PATCH] 2.5.4, add help texts to drivers/net/pcmcia/Config.help

[PATCH] 2.5.4, add help texts to drivers/net/pcmcia/Config.help

[Steven Cole]

In drivers/net/pcmcia/Config.in, there are two options which currently do
not have help texts in drivers/net/pcmcia/Config.help.  Here are snippets
from the Config.in for these options:

dep_tristate '  broken NS8390-cards support' CONFIG_PCMCIA_AXNET $CONFIG_PCMCIA

if [ "$CONFIG_CARDBUS" = "y" ]; then
     tristate '  Xircom CardBus support (new driver)' CONFIG_PCMCIA_XIRCOM
     tristate '  Xircom Tulip-like CardBus support (old driver)' CONFIG_PCMCIA_XIRTULIP
fi

Here is a patch to drivers/net/pcmcia/Config.help to add these help texts.

The Xircom one is wrong though - driver will be called xircom_cb.o,
  not xircom_tulip_cb.o (that's the name of the older driver).

Ok, here is a patch against what may be in the tree with changeset 1.316.
Thanks for noticing.
