This means I'll be converted to some sort of VOIP shortly. At that point it would be unwise to try to maintain the gigaset driver, even for odd fixes as I do. So I'll stop maintaining it as a seperate driver and bump support to CAPI in staging. De facto this means the driver will be unmaintained, since no-one seems to be working on CAPI. I've lighty tested the hardware specific modules of this driver (bas-gigaset, ser-gigaset, and usb-gigaset) for v5.3-rc1. The basic functionality appears to be working. It's unclear whether anyone still cares. I'm aware of only one person sort of using the driver a few years ago. Thanks to Karsten Keil for the ISDN subsystems gigaset was using (I4L and CAPI). And many thanks to Hansjoerg Lipp and Tilman Schmidt for writing and upstreaming this driver.
