This patch adds bna driver readme file to Documentation/networking.

I'm not adding a documentation file to the upstream kernel that tells
the user to go read some document covering the out-of-tree driver, and
to fetch distribution specific firmware packages.

Please do send the firmware to David Woodhouse [off-list ref]
to put in the linux-firmware tree. 

 git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/dwmw2/linux-firmware.git


If you do that every distribution will pick it
up from there.
