Subject: [gentoo-dev] net-misc/bcm4400 going away
Date: Wed, 30 Aug 2006 11:54:54 -0400 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <44F5B4CE.50503@gentoo.org> (raw)
Hi,
net-misc/bcm4400 is a kernel driver built as an external package through
portage. The codebase which this package use has been discontinued
upstream. The upstream replacement (which is not in Portage directly) is
simply a copy of the in-kernel b44 driver code.
For this reason we are suggesting everyone migrates to the b44 in-kernel
driver (I guess net-misc/bcm4400 doesn't really have any users anyway...).
bcm4400 will be removed in about 28 days. Bug #145525
Daniel
