    Hi,

    while translating the release-notes for Bullseye, I noticed that support for some devices has been dropped, which we currently list in the installation-guide
    as supported (see https://www.debian.org/releases/testing/armel/release-notes/ch-information.de.html#no-longer-supported-hardware)

    I have prepared a patch, to update the installation-guide according this.
    (I already remove old parts, mentioning which devices have been dropped from Debian 8.)


    Comments (especially arm people) ?

    Unfortunately, that page is incorrect. Support for all QNAP Turbo
    Station devices was dropped.

    This page should say:

    * QNAP TS-11x/TS-12x, TS-21x/TS-22x and TS-41x/TS-42x
