Re: rt2x00: cleanup Kconfig help

Hi,

Please CC either me or the rt2400-devel mailinglist for rt2x00 patches.
Thanks

> Clarify in CONFIG_RT2500USB that proper RT2500 (PCI) is not supported. While at it, capitalize "rt" in Ralink chipsets names and "usb", "pci". Also clarify what RT61 and RT73 refers to. Finally, update CONFIG_RT2X00 now that this isn't just futureware.

Lots of comments for this patch...
I agree with only a handfull of changes.

Against what tree did you create this patch?
I send a patch that fixed this line several weeks/months ago upstream.

Can't see a real reason for either capatilizing RT or PCI/PCMCIA ...

Since we are setting the bus type clearly everywhere else,
we shouldn't remove it here...

tristate "Ralink rt2561 & rt2661 pci/pcmcia support"

This is an experimental driver for the Ralink rt2600 andrt2501(Turbo) wireless chipsets.

Original version was fine since it is consistent with the rest...

See no point in changing this, the config title already states we are talking about USB.

consistency and don't forget to add all types.
tristate "Ralink rt2571W & rt2671 usb support"

Those devices doesn't match the config title, so it should be something like:

This is an experimental driver for the Ralink rt2571W and rt2671 wireless chipsets.
