At $work we still build and ship some products using industrial SBCs
similar to what you describe (32-bit Geode processor and vr(4) network
driver). That hardware is still available today (and not just on ebay).

I think there's a big difference between removing an old driver because
the hardware it supports was a marketplace failure and almost no units
exist in the wild, and removing old drivers just because they're old.

There's a lot of really old drivers we could safely retire in 13 and not
affect more than a handful of users who could easily buy a new add-in card
since several of the early Bill Paul tulip drivers never were designed into
mobos.

There's no compelling reason to move quickly with 12 retirement. But
marking them *NOW* as going away in 13 will let us get some feedback from
people / situations that would be affected in plenty of time to change
course.

ed(4) has many 100 mbit cards.
I recall recently booting something that showed up with an ed0:

le(4) has some 100 mbit cards.  Mostly supersceded by lnc(4)

These are truely dead, IMHO.

If end of sales and support is enough to remove 10g driver from the 
kernel,
can we please delete all 10Mbit, 100Mbit 10+ year old drivers from 
the kernel?


It's probably a good idea to add deprecation notices for them now and
merge for 11 to find out which ones still have users.  Someone on IRC
mentioned that FreeNAS removed them and ended up restoring one, but I
don't remember which one it was.

My gut feeling is that we're a bit late in the game for doing a mass
removal for 12, but we should definitely do so for 13.


I’d be very careful.  I can still buy a lot of 100Mbit/s cards and you 
constantly find them on new SoCs still which don’t do Gbit/s.  Also 
there’s a lot of legacy hw floating around for some of them.  12 
definitively seems to be too short term.

My plans are to retire PC Card and these drivers in 13. Machines that have
this hardware still run 12 OK. Packages make them upgradable still, but its
clear the hand writing is on the wall.

Ed and ep also support 100M, but are unable to do line rate.

I'd planned on doing exactly this. There are also really old CAM drivers
that need to go so we can c lookean up other things...

I'd also planned on putting gone in 13 for pc card and cardbus stuff, which
is what's gating some nic drivers leaving...

My home router runs 11.1-STABLE/i386 using PC-104 form factor system from the 
year 2007
having AMD Geode processor not capable of 64 bit mode, RAM maxed at 1GB 
(2x512MB DIMMs),
UDMA100 IDE/PATA controller and two 100Mbit vr(4) vlan-capable network 
interfaces.

It can route/nat PPPoE connection at 100M wire speed, performs IPSEC at 
33Mbit/s using
cryptodev/onboard AES accelerator while acting as WiFi access point same time
using multi-AP capable AR5212 ath(4) miniPCI (not miniPCI-E) card.

And I love FreeBSD for that.

It's probably a good idea to add deprecation notices for them now and
merge for 11 to find out which ones still have users.  Someone on IRC
mentioned that FreeNAS removed them and ended up restoring one, but I
don't remember which one it was.

My gut feeling is that we're a bit late in the game for doing a mass
removal for 12, but we should definitely do so for 13.

And some of us buy 2 year old hardware because it is cheap,
and serves our needs just fine.   Even 8 year old servers
make usable machines today.

Do we even have any 10Mbit only drivers?  I think that all the
10mbit drivers also support 100mbit devices, but maybe there
are some odd cases I cant remeber.

I do agree that we need to be very carefull about killing "dead wood",
and have advocated proper notice as a first order to helping with that.

I think we also need to be able to back track if we find we have
made a mistake.

Depends on how many existing users we want to screw over.  Not everyone
replaces all their hardware every 2 years, folks.

The difference is that the Exar chips failed in the marketplace; very
few seem to have made it out into the wild.

Given, 10Mbit-only things are way past their sell-by date.
