[gentoo-dev] net-misc/bcm4400 going away

2006-08-30 Thread Daniel Drake 

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
