Subject: [PATCH 02/15] 3c501: relocate ancient 8 bit ISA driver to legacy dir
Date: Thu, 28 Oct 2010 21:19:06 -0400	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1288315159-1350-3-git-send-email-paul.gortmaker@windriver.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <1288315159-1350-1-git-send-email-paul.gortmaker@windriver.com>

As the oldest bit of "supported" hardware, this 8 bit relic from
the 1980's gets the dubious honour of being the 1st driver to
be relegated to the dark corners of the legacy dir.

It wasn't really a functional bit of kit back in the early 1990's
so don't be expecting it to work now either.  Sure it compiles,
but it is largely a historical artefact.
