[patch 2.6.14-rc4 3/3] Documentation: add sk98lin to the feature-removal-schedule

From: John W. Linville
Date: Tue Oct 18 2005 - 20:39:17 EST


The sk98lin and skge drivers cover the same set of hardware, yet the
sk98lin driver is barely maintained. This patch schedules sk98lin
for removal early next year.

+What: sk98lin driver
+When: April 2006
+Why: This driver has been essentially unmaintained for some time.
+ Internally it is a mess, and the original authors are unwilling to
+ correct it. Now the skge driver covers all the same hardware.
