When we discussed the removal of the driver we weren't able to find any 
realistic chance that people both have this hardware and this kind of 
wireless network.

What users do you know about?

The modems worked both with base stations but they also support working
as an adhoc star mode network and yes - people still use them for that in
interesting places where 802.11 doesn't work nicely. And I got bug
reports.. You can still plug em into a PC today and build ad-hoc star
networks including funky stuff like dual modem full dupex.

Of course if you'd bothered to discuss it anywhere I can find or read you
might have found that out earlier.

It was discussed on linux-wireless which seems to be the appropriate 
place for a driver under drivers/net/wireless/

If you consider yourself the maintainer of this driver, can you dump 
the non-working URL from the MAINTAINERS entry (whose removal was my 
original patch) and add yourself instead?
