Dear Sirs,
Forest Bond contributed this driver in 2009.
The following points let me propose to delete the driver:
- This driver generates maintenance workload
- This driver has a maximum 54MBit/s as it supports only 802.11 b/g.
Peak throughput is 3MBytes/s.
- ping times can be 17ms are often above 500ms and worst case 22 seconds.
I suggest deleting the driver as it no longer meets current expectations.
Former Maintainer Forest Bond <forest@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> is unreachable.
The staging subsystem needs to focus on drivers that support usable
hardware that is available. Newbies can then get the hardware and play
around which is fun.
Please consider that support will remain for years in the longterm kernels.
Thanks for any response about your thoughts.
No response will result in a patch for removal in 14 days.
Bye Philipp
