    wireless: mark prism54 as deprecated and mark for removal · 4d8cd268
    Luis R. Rodriguez authored
    The preferred module is p54pci which also supports FullMAC
    PCI / Cardbus devices. We schedule removal for 2.6.34. Reason
    to remove this is no one really is testing prism54 anymore,
    and while it works p54pci provides support for the same hardware.
    It should be noted I have been told some FullMAC devices may not
    have worked with the SoftMAC driver but to date we have yet to
    recieve a single bug report regarding this. If there are users
    out there please let us know!
