Nothing, it simply was. I was also told that was why he had to drive/travel some distance to a friend's place. Apparently the hardware he was supposed to be supporting wasn't available over there. His friend had been some place where it was and returned with a computer that had it.

The point is they let __anyone__ volunteer to be a maintainer whether they have the ability to maintain it or not.

I even went out and purchased 6 different modems of that type to help debugging, but after the Nth time of stuff getting turned in which wouldn't even compile I simply gave up.
