So, to take a specific example (incidentally the one I am personally interested in): isdn4linux (CONFIG_ISDN_I4L), currently marked as "obsolete" (which is undoubtedly incorrect), would not even qualify as "deprecated" as long as its successor, the CAPI 2.0 subsystem (CONFIG_ISDN_CAPI) doesn't support all the hardware currently supported by old i4l. Or did I misunderstand something there? Thanks, Tilman --=20 Tilman Schmidt E-Mail: tilman@imap.cc Bonn, Germany Diese Nachricht besteht zu 100% aus wiederverwerteten Bits.
