Quite true, but for courtesy's sake you should keep the relevant maintainers in the loop, and get their ACKs, when you start changing their MAINTAINERS entries.

I think that may refer to the old cdc ethernet driver though ... Greg? The new one, in the usbnet framework, is a very different beast...

Yeah, this is the cdc_acm driver that is still in the USB drivers/ directory tree as it is a USB class driver that shows up as a tty device to userspace. It should not be moved to the networking list unless no one minds that I never see any queries about it :)

thanks,

Then it should say "CDC ACM" not "CDC ETHERNET" ... ;)

Well, with these drivers there are as many USB related issues as there are network ones. I'd rather have both lists in the file. Linux-usb-users should probably go away, but i guess Greg has the final word.
