The IBM eHEA (Ethernet Host Ethernet Adapter) driver has been orphaned since April 2024 with no active maintainer. The hardware was last supported on IBM POWER7 systems which reached end-of-support in December 2020. The driver has received no functional updates since October 2022, with all subsequent changes being mechanical API migrations affecting the entire kernel tree. A search of lore.kernel.org for the last 24 months reveals no user reports, no objections to the orphan status, and no maintenance discussions indicating active hardware deployment. The code is preserved in git history and can be restored if a maintainer steps forward to take ownership.

If you have a network (Ethernet) card belonging to this class, say Y.

Note that the answer to this question doesn't directly affect the

kernel: saying N will just cause the configurator to skip all
