drivers: net: fujitsu: fmvj18x: Remove this driver

2026-04-23T22:57:10+00:00

The fmvj18x was written by Shingo Fujimoto in 2002. It is an PCMCIA device, so unlikely to be used with modern kernels. Signed-off-by: Andrew Lunn Link: https://patch.msgid.link/20260422-v7-0-0-net-next-driver-removal-v1-v2-11-08a5b59784d5@lunn.ch Signed-off-by: Jakub Kicinski

net: packetengines: remove obsolete yellowfin driver and vendor dir

2026-04-23T21:49:08+00:00

Similar to the hamachi driver, the yellowfin driver supports hardware that is over two decades old and no longer in active use. Since yellowfin was the last remaining driver in the packetengines vendor directory, we can now safely remove the entire directory and drop its associated references from the parent Kconfig and Makefile. This eliminates dead code and reduces the overall maintenance burden on the netdev subsystem.

eth: remove the driver for acenic / tigon1&2

The entire git history for this driver looks like tree-wide and automated cleanups. There's even more coming now with AI, so let's try to delete it instead.

net: ethernet: neterion: s2io: remove unused driver

2026-01-29T04:08:07+00:00

The s2io driver supports Exar (formerly Neterion and S2io) PCI-X 10 Gigabit Ethernet cards. Hardware supporting PCI-X has not been manufactured in years. On x86, it was quickly replaced by PCIe. While it stuck around longer on POWER hardware, the last POWER hardware to support it was POWER7, which is not supported by ppc64le Linux distributions. The last supported mainstream ppc64 Linux distribution was RHEL 7; while it is still supported under ELS, ELS is only available for x86 and IBM Z. It is possible to use many PCI-X cards in standard PCI slots (which are still available on new motherboards), but it does not make sense to do so for 10 Gigabit Ethernet because the maximum bandwidth of standard PCI is only 1067 Mbps. It is therefore highly unlikely that this driver is still being used. Remove the driver, and move the former maintainer to the CREDITS file (restoring credit for the vxge driver, which was removed in commit f05643a0f60b ("eth: remove neterion/vxge").

net: ethernet: dnet: remove driver

2026-01-16T03:38:54+00:00

This legacy platform driver was used with some Qong board. Support for this board was removed with commit c93197b0041d ("ARM: imx: Remove i.MX31 board files") in 2020. So remove this now orphaned driver.

net: spacemit: Add K1 Ethernet MAC

2025-09-16T10:43:49+00:00

The Ethernet MACs found on SpacemiT K1 appears to be a custom design that only superficially resembles some other embedded MACs. SpacemiT refers to them as "EMAC", so let's just call the driver "k1_emac". Supports RGMII and RMII interfaces. Includes support for MAC hardware statistics counters. PTP support is not implemented.

ethernet: Make OA_TC6 config symbol invisible

2024-12-15T21:49:33+00:00

Commit aa58bec064ab1622 ("net: ethernet: oa_tc6: implement register write operation") introduced a library that implements the OPEN Alliance TC6 10BASE-T1x MAC-PHY Serial Interface protocol for supporting 10BASE-T1x MAC-PHYs. There is no need to ask the user about enabling this library, as all drivers that use it select the OA_TC6 symbol. Hence make the symbol invisible, unless when compile-testing.
