The W: link is dead.

Given wimax never really took off, is there any point in keeping this in the kernel at all ?
We turned off the drivers in Fedora a while ago, and just threw out the userspace parts.
I wouldn't be surprised to learn of other distributions doing the same.

Inaky?
Are you doing any work on this at all?
Should this be deleted?

I do minimal maintenance, which in the last two years has been close to zero.

I do get, however, occasional support requests (serviced as time permits) from
South America and Russia, which makes me think they use it. How much, I don't
know.

Unless it is a pain, I'd keep it there

I think you should take the initial MAINTAINERS patch
that marks the mailing lists as subscribers-only.

I don't subscribe and got useless bounces.

ACK--do I need to do it and can the patch go straight to the tree?
