but none of those constants should be used in a mac80211 driver.
Also this driver is missing a MAINTAINERS entry.
The driver has been broken due to the mac80211 changes for a long time
and it's obvious that I can't maintain it anymore as I haven't touched
it for a long time. I would like to just remove it altogether. Any
objections?
If someone wants to step up and fix it, now is the time to do it.
Please keep the driver for now! I have a pile of compatible hardware,
and I should be able to fix it. I'm placing it onto my TODO list.
There is some really obsolete hardware that we may need to stop
supporting, e.g. Atheros AR5210, but the reason is because it's
supported by an actively developed driver, ath5k, and the AR5210 code
stands in the way all the time.
However, at76c50x-usb is a separate driver and it doesn't stand in the
way of anybody except when global changes are made.
