On an average month the linux-wlan-ng repository I still host gets 3-4K 
non-spider hits for the USB firmware files, so in this particular case 
there are still users out there.

At this point it's a more modern driver than the ones already in the 
kernel, and I'm willing to maintain it if there's a point to doing so.
