Manual merge of rsync://rsync.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/jgarzik/netdev-2.6.git
This is a fixed-up version of the broken "upstream-2.6.13" branch, where I re-did the manual merge of drivers/net/r8169.c by hand, and made sure the history is all good.

Generic HDLC layer
Krzysztof Halasa <khc@pm.waw.pl>
-January, 2003
Generic HDLC layer currently supports:
-- Frame Relay (ANSI, CCITT and no LMI), with ARP support (no InARP).
- Normal (routed) and Ethernet-bridged (Ethernet device emulation)
- interfaces can share a single PVC.
-- raw HDLC - either IP (IPv4) interface or Ethernet device emulation.
-- Cisco HDLC,
-- PPP (uses syncppp.c),
-- X.25 (uses X.25 routines).
-
-There are hardware drivers for the following cards:
-- C101 by Moxa Technologies Co., Ltd.
-- RISCom/N2 by SDL Communications Inc.
-- and others, some not in the official kernel.
