From: Arnd Bergmann <arnd@xxxxxxxx> As discussed previously, a lot of the older wifi drivers are likely entirely unused, Though we can't know for sure. As suggested by both Greg and Jakub, let's remove the ones that look are most likely to have no users left and also get in the way of the wext cleanup. If anyone is still using any of these, we can revert the driver removal individually. I would suggest merging these for net-next after 6.7-rc1 is out, to give them the maximum amount of time for users to speak up before a release comes out. This kills off all pcmcia wifi drivers, and all wext users in drivers/net/wireless, but not the ps3-gelic-wireless driver in drivers/net/ethernet, or the staging drivers. In staging, rtl8192u was already removed in the meantime, while rtl8712 and rtl8192e are apparently still used. I have not been able to find out whether ks7010 is still in use.
