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.

4.4 COMPILING THE DRIVER INTO THE KERNEL
If your Linux distribution already has support for the cs89x0 driver
then simply copy the source file to the /usr/src/linux/drivers/net
directory to replace the original ones and run the make utility to
rebuild the kernel. See Step 3 for rebuilding the kernel.
If your Linux does not include the cs89x0 driver, you need to edit three
configuration files, copy the source file to the /usr/src/linux/drivers/net
directory, and then run the make utility to rebuild the kernel.
1. Edit the following configuration files by adding the statements as
indicated. (When possible, try to locate the added text to the section of the
file containing similar statements).
a.) In /usr/src/linux/drivers/net/Config.in, add:
tristate 'CS89x0 support' CONFIG_CS89x0
Example:
if [ "$CONFIG_EXPERIMENTAL" = "y" ]; then
tristate 'ICL EtherTeam 16i/32 support' CONFIG_ETH16I
fi
tristate 'CS89x0 support' CONFIG_CS89x0
tristate 'NE2000/NE1000 support' CONFIG_NE2000
if [ "$CONFIG_EXPERIMENTAL" = "y" ]; then
tristate 'NI5210 support' CONFIG_NI52
b.) In /usr/src/linux/drivers/net/Makefile, add the following lines:
ifeq ($(CONFIG_CS89x0),y)
L_OBJS += cs89x0.o
else
ifeq ($(CONFIG_CS89x0),m)
M_OBJS += cs89x0.o
endif
endif
c.) In /linux/drivers/net/Space.c file, add the line:
extern int cs89x0_probe(struct device *dev);
Example:
extern int ultra_probe(struct device *dev);
extern int wd_probe(struct device *dev);
extern int el2_probe(struct device *dev);
extern int cs89x0_probe(struct device *dev);
extern int ne_probe(struct device *dev);
extern int hp_probe(struct device *dev);
extern int hp_plus_probe(struct device *dev);
Also add:
#ifdef CONFIG_CS89x0
{ cs89x0_probe,0 },
#endif
2.) Copy the driver source files (cs89x0.c and cs89x0.h)
into the /usr/src/linux/drivers/net directory.
3.) Go to /usr/src/linux directory and run 'make config' followed by 'make'
(or make bzImage) to rebuild the kernel.
4.) Use the DOS 'setup' utility to disable plug and play on the NIC.
