usb: auerswald: remove driver (obsolete)
This patch removes the auerswald USB driver from the linux kernel
2.6.26.
This driver was included into the kernel mainly to connect to the ISDN
framework. This was done in linux 2.4.x. For 2.6.x, due to the fragile
and moving ISDN support, this connection was never realized, and the
only use of this driver was for device configuration. In the age of DSL,
the demand of ISDN support is getting very low.
Meanwhile, with the advent of libusb, an userspace driver was done for
the device configuration which works fine for linux and mac. (Thanks to
the libusb developers!). The userspace driver is downloadable from the
auerswald web site.
So this driver is obsolete now and has to be removed. Many thanks to all
developers which helped me to bring this driver up and working.

| 1 | Auerswald USB kernel driver | ||
| 2 | =========================== | ||
| 3 | |||
| 4 | What is it? What can I do with it? | ||
| 5 | ================================== | ||
| 6 | The auerswald USB kernel driver connects your linux 2.4.x | ||
| 7 | system to the auerswald usb-enabled devices. | ||
| 8 | |||
| 9 | There are two types of auerswald usb devices: | ||
| 10 | a) small PBX systems (ISDN) | ||
| 11 | b) COMfort system telephones (ISDN) | ||
| 12 | |||
| 13 | The driver installation creates the devices | ||
| 14 | /dev/usb/auer0..15. These devices carry a vendor- | ||
| 15 | specific protocol. You may run all auerswald java | ||
| 16 | software on it. The java software needs a native | ||
| 17 | library "libAuerUsbJNINative.so" installed on | ||
| 18 | your system. This library is available from | ||
| 19 | auerswald and shipped as part of the java software. | ||
| 20 | |||
| 21 | You may create the devices with: | ||
| 22 | mknod -m 666 /dev/usb/auer0 c 180 112 | ||
| 23 | ... | ||
| 24 | mknod -m 666 /dev/usb/auer15 c 180 127 | ||
| 25 | |||
| 26 | Future plans | ||
| 27 | ============ | ||
| 28 | - Connection to ISDN4LINUX (the hisax interface) | ||
