There are no known users of this driver as of October 2020, and it will be removed unless someone turns out to still need it in future releases. According to https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_WiMAX_networks, there have been many public wimax networks, but it appears that many of these have migrated to LTE or discontinued their service altogether. As most PCs and phones lack WiMAX hardware support, the remaining networks tend to use standalone routers. These almost certainly run Linux, but not a modern kernel or the mainline wimax driver stack. NetworkManager appears to have dropped userspace support in 2015 https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=747846, the www.linuxwimax.org site had already shut down earlier. WiMax is apparently still being deployed on airport campus networks ("AeroMACS"), but in a frequency band that was not supported by the old Intel 2400m (used in Sandy Bridge laptops and earlier), which is the only driver using the kernel's wimax stack. Move all files into drivers/staging/wimax, including the uapi header files and documentation, to make it easier to remove it when it gets to that. Only minimal changes are made to the source files, in order to make it possible to port patches across the move. Also remove the MAINTAINERS entry that refers to a broken mailing list and website.

This option allows you to select a number of drivers that are
|
|
not of the "normal" Linux kernel quality level. These drivers
|
|
are placed here in order to get a wider audience to make use of
|
|
them. Please note that these drivers are under heavy
|
|
development, may or may not work, and may contain userspace
|
|
interfaces that most likely will be changed in the near
|
|
future.
|
|
|
|
Using any of these drivers will taint your kernel which might
|
|
affect support options from both the community, and various
|
|
commercial support organizations.
|
|
|
|
If you wish to work on these drivers, to help improve them, or
|
|
to report problems you have with them, please see the
|
|
drivers/staging/<driver_name>/TODO file to see what needs to be
|
|
worked on, and who to contact.
|
|
|
|
If in doubt, say N here.
