From 1202cdd665315c525b5237e96e0bedc76d7e754f Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Stephen Hemminger Date: Wed, 17 Aug 2022 17:43:21 -0700 Subject: Remove DECnet support from kernel DECnet is an obsolete network protocol that receives more attention from kernel janitors than users. It belongs in computer protocol history museum not in Linux kernel. It has been "Orphaned" in kernel since 2010. The iproute2 support for DECnet was dropped in 5.0 release. The documentation link on Sourceforge says it is abandoned there as well. Leave the UAPI alone to keep userspace programs compiling. This means that there is still an empty neighbour table for AF_DECNET. The table of /proc/sys/net entries was updated to match current directories and reformatted to be alphabetical.
