Farewell. How do we know that there are no users left? It's surprising how ancient hardware some people use. Is the driver broken or what? (Reads commit 1d89cae1b47d) Ah, p54 is supposed to replace prism54. Does that include all the hardware supported by prism54? If yes, that should be clearly documented in the commit log and I can add that. -- https://patchwork.kernel.org/project/linux-wireless/list/ https://wireless.wiki.kernel.org/en/developers/documentation/submittingpatches
