[christopher tyerman]

hello

Im looking for information on the pi433 driver. Who is currently
maintaining the driver? as the original author appears not to have made
any alterations since the original commit, and links are no longer valid.

Im looking to determine what would be necessary to confirm/implement 
functionality using the RFM69HCW and, initially, more specifically the
SparkFun RFM69 Breakout( https://www.sparkfun.com/products/12823).

As a side question can you tell what or where i can find information on
driver naming conventions? as the pi433 driver to me looks like it
should really be named after the RFM69 series of chips/modules rather
than a specific PCB for that module which appears to not be available
and multiple alternatives exist for.

Thank you for your time.

Any reason you didn't cc: that developer here?

No idea, try it and see!

If you think it should be renamed, and want to do the work here to fix
it up and get it out of staging, great, please do!

thanks,

That sounds reasonable.  We can't Ack patches we haven't seen but
probably you can rename anything that you want to.
