Subject: Remove net drivers depending on OBSOLETE

The following three net drivers depend in both 2.4 and 2.5 on
CONFIG_OBSOLETE:
- FMV18X
- SEEQ8005
- SK_G16

Since CONFIG_OBSOLETE is never set they are not selectable.
Is there any reason why they should stay in the kernel or would you
accept a patch that removes these drivers?

Seeq hardware turns up now and again, sk_g16 is a pretty rare bit of
hardware but I thought people had it working in current 2.4, fmv18x
I've no idea about. I'll take a look at them

Seems to be a mirror of the at1700 driver. Does anyone know if both do
the same hardware ?
