Sorry that I didn't test it well, I didn't expect to be able to use 'make menuconfig' without calling make or 'make linux-backports' before. I send v5 where I integrated Thomass' changes. So is it blind alley (if you don't want to tweak custom requirements), and I should try to add it as linux extension using integration strategy? Petr > Dear Yann E.
