Good day,

actually, I do use Xircom PCMCIA network cards (yes, the 16 bit ones) on
Lenovo X60/X61 laptops as a second LAN card for server maintenances with
current 64 bit distros (e.g. Debian Trixie, which I plan to update to
Trixie+1 when available). Why? Because I have them and they are working ;-)

Hi Michael

I will drop this from the patchset for the moment.

Would you be willing to take up the Maintainer role for it?

Hello Andrew,

thanks! If someone mentors me I could try... I have experience with C programming, esp. in the embedded world, but (almost) no experience with the Linux kernel development.
But regression tests etc. can be conducted by me - on 32 and 64 bit machines. The oldest being a P120, the newest the mentioned X61 with its C2D CPU.

Best regards
Michael
