The atmel at76c651 frontend driver is used for the=20
Sagem DBox2 Digital Cable Receiver.=20

As all other parts of the dbox2 drivers are atm not hosted at kernel cvs bu=
t at
cvs.tuxbox.org you won't find any components in mainline kernel tree using =
this.

thus we are a hobby project - but even well known - there are not so many d=
eveloper
available to make every kernel driver and other parts of it "kernel-style-a=
like".=20
maybe there is more progress and kernel driver patching into mainline in th=
e future.
we are having 2.6.9 running on dbox2 - higher versions are atm broken for s=
upport of
the mpc 823 architecture :/

removing this driver is not wanted.
