[PATCH] appletalk: remove ipddp driver

[Arnd Bergmann <arnd@kernel.org>]

From: Arnd Bergmann <arnd@arndb.de>

After the cops driver is removed, ipddp is now the only
CONFIG_DEV_APPLETALK but as far as I can tell, this also has no users
and can be removed, making appletalk support purely based on ethertalk,
using ethernet hardware.

-AppleTalk-IP Decapsulation and AppleTalk-IP Encapsulation
-=========================================================
-
-Documentation ipddp.c

-This file is written by Jay Schulist <jschlst@samba.org>
-
-Introduction
-------------
-
-AppleTalk-IP (IPDDP) is the method computers connected to AppleTalk
-networks can use to communicate via IP. AppleTalk-IP is simply IP datagrams
-inside AppleTalk packets.
-
-Through this driver you can either allow your Linux box to communicate
-IP over an AppleTalk network or you can provide IP gatewaying functions
-for your AppleTalk users.
-
-You can currently encapsulate or decapsulate AppleTalk-IP on LocalTalk,
-EtherTalk and PPPTalk. The only limit on the protocol is that of what
-kernel AppleTalk layer and drivers are available.
-
-Each mode requires its own user space software.
-
-Compiling AppleTalk-IP Decapsulation/Encapsulation
-==================================================
-
-AppleTalk-IP decapsulation needs to be compiled into your kernel. You
-will need to turn on AppleTalk-IP driver support. Then you will need to
-select ONE of the two options; IP to AppleTalk-IP encapsulation support or
-AppleTalk-IP to IP decapsulation support. If you compile the driver
-statically you will only be able to use the driver for the function you have
-enabled in the kernel. If you compile the driver as a module you can
-select what mode you want it to run in via a module loading param.
-ipddp_mode=1 for AppleTalk-IP encapsulation and ipddp_mode=2 for
-AppleTalk-IP to IP decapsulation.
-
-Basic instructions for user space tools
-=======================================
-
-I will briefly describe the operation of the tools, but you will
-need to consult the supporting documentation for each set of tools.
-
-Decapsulation - You will need to download a software package called
-MacGate. In this distribution there will be a tool called MacRoute
-which enables you to add routes to the kernel for your Macs by hand.
-Also the tool MacRegGateWay is included to register the
-proper IP Gateway and IP addresses for your machine. Included in this
-distribution is a patch to netatalk-1.4b2+asun2.0a17.2 (available from
-ftp.u.washington.edu/pub/user-supported/asun/) this patch is optional
-but it allows automatic adding and deleting of routes for Macs. (Handy
-for locations with large Mac installations)
-
-Encapsulation - You will need to download a software daemon called ipddpd.
-This software expects there to be an AppleTalk-IP gateway on the network.
-You will also need to add the proper routes to route your Linux box's IP
-traffic out the ipddp interface.
-
-Common Uses of ipddp.c
-----------------------
-Of course AppleTalk-IP decapsulation and encapsulation, but specifically
-decapsulation is being used most for connecting LocalTalk networks to
-IP networks. Although it has been used on EtherTalk networks to allow
-Macs that are only able to tunnel IP over EtherTalk.
-
-Encapsulation has been used to allow a Linux box stuck on a LocalTalk
-network to use IP. It should work equally well if you are stuck on an
-EtherTalk only network.
-
-Further Assistance
--------------------
-You can contact me (Jay Schulist <jschlst@samba.org>) with any
-questions regarding decapsulation or encapsulation. Bradford W. Johnson
-<johns393@maroon.tc.umn.edu> originally wrote the ipddp.c driver for IP
-encapsulation in AppleTalk.

-	help
-	  AppleTalk is the protocol that Apple computers can use to communicate
-	  on a network.  If your Linux box is connected to such a network and you
-	  wish to connect to it, say Y.  You will need to use the netatalk package
-	  so that your Linux box can act as a print and file server for Macs as
-	  well as access AppleTalk printers.  Check out
-	  <http://www.zettabyte.net/netatalk/> on the WWW for details.
-	  EtherTalk is the name used for AppleTalk over Ethernet and the
-	  cheaper and slower LocalTalk is AppleTalk over a proprietary Apple
-	  network using serial links.  EtherTalk and LocalTalk are fully
-	  supported by Linux.
-
-	  General information about how to connect Linux, Windows machines and
-	  Macs is on the WWW at <http://www.eats.com/linux_mac_win.html>.  The
-	  NET3-4-HOWTO, available from
-	  <http://www.tldp.org/docs.html#howto>, contains valuable
-	  information as well.
-
-	  To compile this driver as a module, choose M here: the module will be
-	  called appletalk. You almost certainly want to compile it as a
-	  module so you can restart your AppleTalk stack without rebooting
-	  your machine. I hear that the GNU boycott of Apple is over, so
-	  even politically correct people are allowed to say Y here.

-config DEV_APPLETALK

-	  AppleTalk is the protocol that Apple computers can use to communicate
-	  on a network.  If your Linux box is connected to such a network, and wish
-	  to do IP over it, or you have a LocalTalk card and wish to use it to
-	  connect to the AppleTalk network, say Y.
-
-config IPDDP
-	tristate "Appletalk-IP driver support"
-	depends on DEV_APPLETALK && ATALK
-	help
-	  This allows IP networking for users who only have AppleTalk
-	  networking available. This feature is experimental. With this
-	  driver, you can encapsulate IP inside AppleTalk (e.g. if your Linux
-	  box is stuck on an AppleTalk only network) or decapsulate (e.g. if
-	  you want your Linux box to act as an Internet gateway for a zoo of
-	  AppleTalk connected Macs). Please see the file
-	  <file:Documentation/networking/ipddp.rst> for more information.
-
-	  If you say Y here, the AppleTalk-IP support will be compiled into
-	  the kernel. In this case, you can either use encapsulation or
-	  decapsulation, but not both. With the following two questions, you
-	  decide which one you want.
-
-	  To compile the AppleTalk-IP support as a module, choose M here: the
-	  module will be called ipddp.
-	  In this case, you will be able to use both encapsulation and
-	  decapsulation simultaneously, by loading two copies of the module
-	  and specifying different values for the module option ipddp_mode.
-
-config IPDDP_ENCAP
-	bool "IP to Appletalk-IP Encapsulation support"
-	depends on IPDDP
-	help
-	  If you say Y here, the AppleTalk-IP code will be able to encapsulate
-	  IP packets inside AppleTalk frames; this is useful if your Linux box
-	  is stuck on an AppleTalk network (which hopefully contains a
-	  decapsulator somewhere). Please see
-	  <file:Documentation/networking/ipddp.rst> for more information.

+	select LLC
+	help
+	  AppleTalk is the protocol that Apple computers can use to communicate
+	  on a network.  If your Linux box is connected to such a network and you
+	  wish to connect to it, say Y.  You will need to use the netatalk package
+	  so that your Linux box can act as a print and file server for Macs as
+	  well as access AppleTalk printers.  Check out
+	  <http://www.zettabyte.net/netatalk/> on the WWW for details.
+	  EtherTalk is the name used for AppleTalk over Ethernet and the
+	  cheaper and slower LocalTalk is AppleTalk over a proprietary Apple
+	  network using serial links.  EtherTalk and LocalTalk are fully
+	  supported by Linux.
+
+	  General information about how to connect Linux, Windows machines and
+	  Macs is on the WWW at <http://www.eats.com/linux_mac_win.html>.  The
+	  NET3-4-HOWTO, available from
+	  <http://www.tldp.org/docs.html#howto>, contains valuable
+	  information as well.
+
+	  To compile this driver as a module, choose M here: the module will be
+	  called appletalk. You almost certainly want to compile it as a
+	  module so you can restart your AppleTalk stack without rebooting
+	  your machine. I hear that the GNU boycott of Apple is over, so
+	  even politically correct people are allowed to say Y here.
