True, my last work here was a long time ago. I used to maintain the eicon driver, but this driver is not just old, it is simply outdated for years and I doubt someone will ever use it in newer kernels. It just creates work here. Some time ago I asked (I don't remember who) why don't we remove that old driver from the kernel. It wasn't done because there is no follow up for the kernel. The new drivers out there are maintained, but will never be part of the kernel (coding style, etc.). I guess the idea was not to remove a driver from the kernel when there is no alternative (in kernel). Maybe I should bring this up again and ask for a removal of the current eicon driver in kernel... regards, Armin -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
