[patch] eliminte unused /proc/sys/net/ethernet

[Jes Sorensen <jes@sgi.com>]

Hi,

Given that /proc/sys/net/ethernet is > 10 years old and empty - maybe
we should just nuke it off the face of the planet?

Cheers,
Jes

The /proc/sys/net/ehternet directory has been sitting empty
for more than 10 years - eliminate it!
