+What:	shaper network driver
+When:	January 2008
+Files:	drivers/net/shaper.c, include/linux/if_shaper.h
+Why:	This driver has been marked obsolete for many years.
+	It was only designed to work on lower speed links and has design
+	flaws that lead to machine crashes. The qdisc infrastructure in
+	2.4 or later kernels, provides richer features and is more robust.
