Description Thomas Zehetbauer 2004-06-02 07:36:47 UTC

Make oldconfig silently disabled support for my CONFIG_TIGON3 NIC.

It seems that it depends on CONFIG_NET_GIGE which in turn depends on
CONFIG_NET_ETHERNET which was not required in 2.6.6 kernel.

Comment 1 Roman Zippel 2004-06-02 09:10:23 UTC

Jeff, you might want to add a "default y", so the options depending on it don't get reset.
(Removing NET_ETHERNET was already mentioned on lkml.)

Comment 2 Adrian Bunk 2004-07-09 18:51:03 UTC

CONFIG_NET_GIGE was removed before 2.6.7-final.
