"Linux Kernel Drops QLogic 10Gb Ethernet Driver 'QLGE' for Good"
The QLogic 10Gb Ethernet driver, QLGE, is set to be removed from the Linux kernel source tree due to lack of maintenance and no active users. The driver, which has not seen any improvements since January 2021, will be deleted unless users of QLogic 10Gb Ethernet hardware express their need for it. This removal will lighten the Linux kernel source tree by 10.8k lines of code.
