It has recently come to my attention that the old wireless-legacy.git
tree is no longer available on kernel.org. I honestly have no idea
what happened to it -- for all I know I fat-fingered it some time
ago or whatever. Anyway, apparently there are some references in it
"out there" and it would be good if we had a copy available somewhere
public.
If you have an old clone of wireless-legacy.git, PLEASE DO NOT DELETE
IT! Please let me know that you've got it and I will arrange to get
a copy of it from you in order to make it available publicly again.
I appreciate your support!

I got them both from the two FTP sites, and both git repos appear to
be identical. It would be best if someone had an actual record of
the commit hash values, but this might be the best I/we can do...?

Not really necessary - at least one commit ID in it is well documented:
https://www.softwarefreedom.org/resources/2007/ath5k-code-analysis.html
That might very well be one of the last commits in that tree.

Actually, no - it says ath5k branch.
I don't seem to have it.

We do know this published SHA:
c1928199c27de433d1e81b78e3178be4f0e978d2
from the ath5k legal analysis.
There are a couple of hits for 72c942ed694ef6249c0df84c0802e7378884e7c7,
which is the full SHA for the adm8211 branch.
There are also lots of hits for 6a55617ed5d1aa62b850de2cf66f5ede2eef4825,
which I think is the master branch SHA, and is in the upstream kernel.

Before you do that please make sure you get multiple copies from
unconnected sources and confirm none of them are trojanned.
