* docs: netdev-FAQ: fix question headers formattingBaruch Siach2020-12-231-67/+59
| | | | | | | | | | | | Join adjacent questions to a single question line. This fixes the formatting of questions that were not part of the heading. Also, drop Q: and A: prefixes. We don't need them now that questions and answers are visually separated.

* docs: net: Convert netdev-FAQ to restructured textTobin C. Harding2018-07-271-0/+259
Preferred kernel docs format is now restructured text. Convert netdev-FAQ.txt to restructured text. - Add SPDX license identifier. - Change file heading 'Information you need to know about netdev' to 'netdev FAQ' to better suit displayed index (in HTML). - Change question/answer layout to suit rst. Copy format in Documentation/bpf/bpf_devel_QA.rst - Fix indentation of code snippets - If multiple consecutive URLs appear put them in a list (to maintain whitespace). - Use uniform spelling of 'bug fix' throughout document (not bugfix or bug-fix). - Add double back ticks to 'net' and 'net-next' when referring to the trees. - Use rst references for Documentation/ links. - Add rst label 'netdev-FAQ' for referencing by other docs files. - Remove stale entry from Documentation/networking/00-INDEX Signed-off-by: Tobin C.
