I got two of these donated by AVM (fcdslusb and fcdslsl). And
additionally a fcusb for net-dialup/fritzcapi
I think all the AVM-drivers in the tree are covered by me.

I dont think that it means that you are a bad maintainer when you do
not own the hardware. But if you dont like the work you should not do
it, please tell us then, I am ready to take over as much as I can to
help you.

sorry, I dont own a device .. nor does any developer I think, should
these ebuilds be not maintained then?
Imo when something cannot be tested it should be at least on its
latest version and in the tree and bugs that come up should be fixed.
And that can a maintainer do without owning the device.

Do you have a dsl-connection?
How do you connect to the internet?
