The issue is that the dependencies for every single ethernet driver have changed. Some dependencies have been dropped (f.e. NETDEV_10000 and some have been added (f.e. ETHERNET, NET_VENDOR_****) So right now an automated (non-prompted, default to no on all new options) run on an existing config results in all ethernet drivers getting disabled because the new dependencies don't get enabled. This wouldn't be so bad if it was just one or two drivers, but in this case it's every single ethernet driver which will have and hit this problem.
