Wireless RNDIS USB is a new-style CFG80211 driver for 802.11b and
802.11g USB hardware from around 2004 to 2006. This makes it more modern
than any of the others, but Kalle already classified it as "legacy"
in commit 298e50ad8eb8f ("wifi: move raycs, wl3501 and rndis_wlan to
legacy directory").
Jussi Kivilinna worked on this driver between 2008 and 2012, and it has
only seen cosmetic updates after that.

Planet WL3501 is another PCMCIA driver for pre-802.11b interfaces
(2Mbit/s) with incomplete CFG80211 support.
This was marked as orphaned in 2017 but has been unmaintained
for a long time before that.

Aviator/Raytheon is an early PCMCIA driver, apparently predating 802.11b
and only supporting wireless extensions.
The driver has been orphaned since 2010 and only seen cosmetic updates
long before than. Jean Tourrilhes pointed out in a 2005 changelog that
he tested a change on actual hardware, which was apparently already
noteworthy back then.

To clean up drivers/net/wireless move the old drivers drivers left in the
directory to a new "legacy" directory. I did consider adding
CONFIG_WLAN_VENDOR_LEGACY like other vendors have but then dropped the idea as
these are really old drivers and hopefully we get to remove them soon.
There should be no changes in compilation or in Kconfig options, merely moving files.
