Subject: Re: staging/rtl8187se should be removed

The thing about keeping e100 in parallel with the other driver is that
some devices didn't work on the other driver and also it wasn't staging
code.
I don't have strong opinions either way, but if we decide to keep the
old driver around for another kernel release "just in case" then we
should make it print a warning on load or something to say that it's
soon going to be removed.
regards,
dan carpenter
