A lot of this text would be useful in the help text below. The help text is visible in any moment in later releases, the commit log needs to be searched. > Suggested-by: Luca Ceresoli > Signed-off-by: Giulio Benetti > --- > package/rtl8188eu/Config.in | 3 --- > 1 file changed, 3 deletions(-) > > diff --git a/package/rtl8188eu/Config.in b/package/rtl8188eu/Config.in > index 76d9085297..8d68d104c8 100644 > --- a/package/rtl8188eu/Config.in > +++ b/package/rtl8188eu/Config.in > @@ -4,9 +4,6 @@ config BR2_PACKAGE_RTL8188EU > depends on BR2_LINUX_KERNEL > help > A standalone driver for the RTL8188EU USB Wi-Fi adapter. > - This is needed only for Linux kernels before 3.12. > - Since 3.12, there is a (staging) driver in mainline, with a > - similar codebase. For the above reasons, I'd add here: This rtl8188eu driver is not the same as the one in mainline Linux that still has pending work to be done that in this driver is done, check: https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git/tree/drivers/staging/r8188eu/TODO I'd not add the todo list, as it will (hopefully) change in the future in the kernel and we don't want to keep updating our own copy. -- Luca Ceresoli, Bootlin Embedded Linux and Kernel engineering https://bootlin.com _______________________________________________ buildroot mailing list buildroot@buildroot.org https://lists.buildroot.org/mailman/listinfo/buildroot
