Nit: the wireless part is strictly DECT (for the M101 and M105 hardware).

Probably.

The main point is that once my ISDN line is canceled it would be nice to know
whether someone still cares about these drivers. (Do note that for day to day
data traffic I definitely do not really on ISDN. I'm not _that_ crazy.) Your
suggestion to exile them into drivers/staging is about the only policy we have
for finding that out.

Thanks,
