The Linux kernel has recently undergone significant cleanup with the removal of the old ISDN subsystem and several outdated network drivers, primarily related to PCMCIA-era network adapters. Linus Torvalds approved a pull request that removed these drivers to streamline the kernel and reduce maintenance burdens. The removal affects drivers for hardware such as the 3com 3c509/3c515/3c574/3c589 series, AMD Lance, AMD NMCLAN, SMSC SMC9194/SMC91C92, Fujitsu FMVJ18X, and the 8390 AX88190/Ultra/WD80X3 adapters. Additionally, amateur radio support, legacy ATM device drivers, and bus mouse support have been eliminated. This update also begins phasing out Intel 486 CPU support and dropping support for Russia's Baikal CPUs. The removal, driven in part by AI-generated bug reports and extensive code fuzzing, lightens the kernel by over 138,000 lines. Users of older hardware can still run previous Linux versions or compile older kernel versions if necessary, ensuring retro computing or specialized use cases remain possible, though such legacy devices are rare in modern setups. Community responses highlight nostalgia, practical concerns for retro computing, and discussion of alternative methods like user-space drivers or virtualization.
