staging: vt6655: Remove unused driver
Forest Bond contributed this driver in 2009.
The following reasons lead to the removal:
- This driver generates maintenance workload
- This driver has a maximum 54MBit/s as it supports only 802.11 b/g.
Peak throughput is 3MBytes/s but this lasts only for a second.
Typically throughput is 1.7MBytes/s.
- Depending on the number of devices on the channel the device looses
connection and cannot reconnect for 5-60 seconds. Watching a youtube
video is OK because of the buffer. But surfing can then be really a
pain.
- Its form factor is mini PCI (not miniPCIe) that is old and large.
- Hardly not to buy.
