 Without an actual maintainer, this should really be
 orphan and not supported.

I will submit the patch in a day or 2.  Unless of course someone wants
to be the maintainer instead.

 Michael,

 Since this is an old driver, not sure who could step up as a maintainer

This hasn't been applied to -next, and I looked at the 
existing L: entries.

No worries here either if it's an exploder and not a mailing list.

Pity it's not called something like bcm-linux-driv...@broadcom.com
if it's really an exploder.

I have worked on this NIC more than 10 years ago.  Last time I
checked, I don't have this NIC anymore after moving offices several
times.

I don't mind being the maintainer, if no one else more suitable and
have access to hardware wants to do it.

Then M: is definitely _not_ the correct entry for this
and it should be:

L: bcm-kernel-feedback-l...@broadcom.com (subscribers-only)

The list does not accept public subscribers, so this is the correct
entry to use.

This NIC is also embedded inside BCM47xx/BCM53xx which is still
getting active support from Rafal and Hauke.

Without an actual maintainer, this should really be
orphan and not supported.

And the M: bcm-kernel-feedback-list@ should be L:

BCM4401 NICs are essentially from 2002.

Does anyone really use these any longer with a
current distribution or kernel version?
