Subject: [RFC net-next 0/2] Create ancient subdirectories for old hardware
Date: Fri, 18 Mar 2016 17:33:29 -0700 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <cover.1458347329.git.joe@perches.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <1458340518.26915.30.camel@perches.com>
Maybe something like this:
Old, rare, and unsupported hardware should be exposed as ancient.
The drivers for these ancient hardwares are generally untested with
current kernels.
Joe Perches (2):
drivers/net: Create an ANCIENT_NETDEVICES symbol
chelsio: Move original cxgb driver into ancient subdirectory
