Subject: [RFC 1/8] docs: networking: reorganize driver documentation again

Organize driver documentation by device type. Most documents
have fairly verbose yet uninformative names, so let users
first select a well defined device type, and then search for
a particular driver.

While at it rename the section from Vendor drivers to
Hardware drivers. This seems more accurate, besides people
sometimes refer to out-of-tree drivers as vendor drivers.

How much of it is still relevant and useful?

The last time I checked, lots of this had bad advice about settings.
And there was lots of drivers documenting what was generic Linux
functionality

And still there were references to old commands like ifconfig or ifenslave.
