+What: PRISM54
+When: 2.6.34
+
+Why: prism54 FullMAC PCI / Cardbus devices used to be supported only by the
+ prism54 wireless driver. After Intersil stopped selling these
+ devices in preference for the newer more flexible SoftMAC devices
+ a SoftMAC device driver was required and prism54 did not support
+ them. The p54pci driver now exists and has been present in the kernel for
+ a while. This driver supports both SoftMAC devices and FullMAC devices.
+ The main difference between these devices was the amount of memory which
+ could be used for the firmware. The SoftMAC devices support a smaller
+ amount of memory. Because of this the SoftMAC firmware fits into FullMAC
+ devices's memory. p54pci supports not only PCI / Cardbus but also USB
+ and SPI. Since p54pci supports all devices prism54 supports
+ you will have a conflict. I'm not quite sure how distributions are
+ handling this conflict right now. prism54 was kept around due to
+ claims users may experience issues when using the SoftMAC driver.
+ Time has passed users have not reported issues. If you use prism54
+ and for whatever reason you cannot use p54pci please let us know!
+ E-mail us at: linux-wireless@vger.kernel.org
+
+ For more information see the p54 wiki page:

-Why: Remove the old legacy 32bit machine check code. This has been

- doesn't impact the old P5 and WinChip machine check handlers.
