alx: extend help menu Provide clear instructions as to what is required. To make things easier for users make the linux target depend on the linux-src target. Signed-off-by: Luis R. Rodriguez <mcgrof@do-not-panic.com>
The puropose of this development tree is to enable us to do development on alx for both BSD and Linux with a single unified repository. This enables us to synchronize fixes for both BSD and Linux. The idea is to help end typical proprietary driver development for good:

Linux support targets the alx driver to be built in synch with linux-next.git as the base development tree. Backport kernel support is provided by utilizing the compat-drivers framework.
To synch to the latest compat-drivers clone compat-drivers and run:
./refresh-compat
This will copy over all code needed to build the driver for Linux.
