From: pbrobinson on gitlab.com Merge Request: https://gitlab.com/cki-project/kernel-ark/-/merge_requests/2405 NOTE: Truncated patchset due to missing public @redhat.com email address on your GitLab profile at https://gitlab.com/-/profile. Once that is fixed, close and reopen the merge request to retrigger sending the emails.
We retired the userspace wireless extensions, and in theory the kernel interfaces, in Fedora 36 but there was one driver that people actively used (the r8188eu in staging) but the rtl8xxxu driver now has support for all those devices and in 6.3 that staging driver was removed from upstream. We can now properly remove WEXT in the Fedora kernel. This is some minor cleanups and in reality we only lose the ancient 802.11b hermes drivers which are unlikely to be used by Fedora users now PowerMac and 32 bit x86 is long gone.

RHEL configs are not really changed here, approving for RHEL parts

@pbrobinson, @jmflinuxtx I think commit https://gitlab.com/cki-project/kernel- ark/-/commit/9c804531cc54bcd679146c5a03ceb2b4b2d43611 made my ZyDas device not work anymore.
I opened https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=2221766.
Could you please clarify if this is intentional? In the commit message you talk about `ZD1201` but I think that also `ZD1211` got disabled as a consequence.
