    The following two net drivers depend in both 2.4 and 2.6 on OBSOLETE:
    - FMV18X
    - SEEQ8005
    - SK_G16

    Since CONFIG_OBSOLETE is never set they are not selectable.
    Is there any reason why they should stay in the kernel or would you
    accept a patch that removes these drivers?

    More than one year ago, Alan Cox answered to the same question in two
    emails:

    <-- snip -->

    ... sk_g16 is a pretty rare bit of
    hardware but I thought people had it working in current 2.4, fmv18x
    I've no idea about. I'll take a look at them

    <-- next mail -->

    [FMV18X] Seems to be a mirror of the at1700 driver. Does anyone know if
    both do the same hardware ?

    <-- snip -->

    Could anyone comment on the current state of these drivers?

    TIA
