[PATCH v2 1/2] wireless: move prism54 out to staging

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



prism54 is deprecated in favor of the p54pci device driver. Although
only *one soul* had reported issues with it long ago Linux most Linux
distributions these days just disable the device driver given the
conflicts with the PCI IDs of p54pci and the *very* unlikely situation
of folks really need this driver anymore.

Before trying to due away with prism54 once more stuff it into staging,
which is our hospice for dying drivers.
