The following three net drivers depend in both 2.4 and 2.5 on CONFIG_OBSOLETE:
- FMV18X
- SEEQ8005
- SK_G16

Since CONFIG_OBSOLETE is never set they are not selectable. Is there any reason why they should stay in the kernel or would you accept a patch that removes these drivers?

       "Is there not promise of rain?" Ling Tan asked suddenly out
        of the darkness. There had been need of rain for many days.
       "Only a promise," Lao Er said.

Seeq hardware turns up now and again, sk_g16 is a pretty rare bit of hardware but I thought people had it working in current 2.4, fmv18x I've no idea about. I'll take a look at them

Seems to be a mirror of the at1700 driver. Does anyone know if both do the same hardware ?
