Subject: [patch] dgrs removal
Date: Thu, 6 Sep 2007 15:50:23 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20070906135023.GA16304@stro.at> (raw)

nobody objected to adrian's rfc dropping dgrs on netdev back in dec. 2006.
-> http://marc.info/?l=linux-netdev&m=116507999803538&w=2
as bonus points this will get rid of a proprietary licensed firmware.

"The dgrs driver is crap and assumes direct access to PCI iomem"
- Stephen Hemminger <shemminger@linux-foundation.org>

dgrs has no users and it's hardware was never shipped.
