    usb: auerswald: remove driver (obsolete) · 88d987d6
    Wolfgang Mües authored
    This patch removes the auerswald USB driver from the linux kernel
    2.6.26.
    
    This driver was included into the kernel mainly to connect to the ISDN
    framework. This was done in linux 2.4.x. For 2.6.x, due to the fragile
    and moving ISDN support, this connection was never realized, and the
    only use of this driver was for device configuration. In the age of DSL,
    the demand of ISDN support is getting very low.
    
    Meanwhile, with the advent of libusb, an userspace driver was done for
    the device configuration which works fine for linux and mac. (Thanks to
    the libusb developers!). The userspace driver is downloadable from the
    auerswald web site.
    
    So this driver is obsolete now and has to be removed. Many thanks to all
    developers which helped me to bring this driver up and working.
