Me too.

A big problem is that MOL does require a patched kernel, i.e. the module
can't be built without patching the kernel itself. There was some work
upstream to get MOL into the mainline kernel, but it seems to have died.
Maybe Greg Kroah-Hartman would help, but I think the interest in MOL is
near zero.

Hence, I second the request to orphan MOL and remove it from Debian.

Bye, Jörg.
