PATCH 1/1 dgrs romove Kconfig option
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 prorpietary licensed firmware.
so now be a bit more serious and remove the Kconfig entries and see if anyone shouts. if no voice is to be heard as expected by zero bug entries on kernel.org or debian.org, the full removal is scheduled for 2.6.24.

Why not just do the full removal now? If someone shouts, it's just as easy to add it all back. Leaving around half a driver is just annoying..
