+	---help---
+	  Say Y here if you have a Marvell Yukon or SysKonnect SK-98xx/SK-95xx
+	  compliant Gigabit Ethernet Adapter.
+
+	  This driver supports the original Yukon chipset. This driver is
+	  deprecated and will be removed from the kernel in the near future,
+	  it has been replaced by the skge driver. skge is cleaner and
+	  seems to work better.
+
+	  This driver does not support the newer Yukon2 chipset. A separate
+	  driver, sky2, is provided to support Yukon2-based adapters.
+
+	  The following adapters are supported by this driver:
