Hi Marcello,
This patch plus an additional rm -r drivers/net/wan/lmc gets rid of the obsolete LMC WAN driver and all references to it in the Configure.in and Makefiles and MAINTAINERS.
When LMC was taken over by SBE their kernel version of the driver went effectively unmaintained after Alan Cox turned down their LMC->SBE rename patch. Today SBE recommends their own version of the driver only which unfortunately needs different tools and also clashes with the LMC driver when not compiled as module. This general recommendation from their support effectively makes the in-kernel code obsete.
Their drivers can be retrieved from: ftp://ftp.sbei.com/pub/OpenSource/Linux/sbe_driver/sbe_linux-4.0a.tgz
