  * This driver provides a Linux interface to the WaveLAN ISA hardware.
  * The WaveLAN is a product of Lucent (http://www.wavelan.com/).
  * This division was formerly part of NCR and then AT&T.
- * WaveLANs are also distributed by DEC (RoamAbout), Digital Ocean and
- * Aironet (Arlan).  If you have one of those products, you will need to
- * make some changes below.

- * This driver is still beta software.  A lot of bugs have been corrected,
- * a lot of functionality is implemented, and the whole appears stable,
- * but there is still room for improvement (encryption, performance).
+ * WaveLANs are also distributed by DEC (RoamAbout DS) and Digital Ocean.
  *
  * To learn how to use this driver, read the NET3 HOWTO.
  * If you want to exploit the many other functionalities, read the comments

- * "CU Inactive" message at boot up:
- * -----------------------------------
- *	It seems that there is some weird timing problem with the
- *	Intel microcontroller.  In fact, this message is triggered by a
- *	bad reading of the onboard RAM the first time we read the
- *	control block.  If you ignore this message, all is OK (but in
- *	fact, currently, it resets the WaveLAN hardware).
- *
- *	There are two ways to get rid of that problem.  The first
- *	is to add a dummy read of the scb at the end of
- *	wv_82586_config.  The second is to add the timers
- *	wv_synchronous_cmd and wv_ack (the udelay just after the
- *	waiting loops--it seems that the controller is not totally ready
- *	when it says it is).
- *
- *	In the current code, I use the second solution (to be
- *	consistent with the original solution of Bruce Janson).
