The fact is that new alx driver from 2012-12-19 tree depends on CONFIG_MDIO, and if I do not select in-kernel driver that depends on it (e.g., some broadcom or so), inserting compiled alx module gives me this: === [ 44.248978] alx: Unknown symbol mdio_mii_ioctl (err 0) === I've got this fixed by adding into drivers/net/ethernet/atheros/Kconfig of my kernel tree "select MDIO" for Atheros drivers without selecting any other drivers. Probably, it's possible to get it fixed in compat-drivers tree? -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.kernel.org/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are the assignee for the bug.
