    Hi Marcello,

    This patch plus an additional
    rm -r drivers/net/wan/lmc
    gets rid of the obsolete LMC WAN driver and all references to it in the
    Configure.in and Makefiles and MAINTAINERS.

    When LMC was taken over by SBE their kernel version of the driver went
    effectively unmaintained after Alan Cox turned down their LMC->SBE
    rename patch. Today SBE recommends their own version of the driver only
    which unfortunately needs different tools and also clashes with the LMC
    driver when not compiled as module. This general recommendation from
    their support effectively makes the in-kernel code obsete.

    Their drivers can be retrieved from:
    ftp://ftp.sbei.com/pub/OpenSource/Linux/sbe_driver/sbe_linux-4.0a.tgz

    -- 
    Servus,
           Daniel
