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

[Jes Sorensen]

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!

DOH!

Forgot to remove it from the Makefile ... here we go again.

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