Guys,
Why on earth are we maintaining any of the following?
* fcpci- pkgrel of 66 * fcpcmcia- pkgrel of 62 * slmodem- pkgrel of 62, not even available for x86_64
Frankly, if these can't make the cut to land in the kernel tree after 10 years, we are wasting our time packaging them. Might as well safe the kernel packagers some headaches.

They cannot land in the kernel because they are proprietary. Afaik there are people working on a free driver for the fritz cards which will also support capi; so these drivers might be replaceable by open source ones some day. -- Pierre Schmitz, http://pierre-schmitz.com
