small prob. with pcmcia Makefile in 2.4.20

[benny k.]

Hello,

I have found a small problem with the pcmcia Makefile in 2.4.20. It seems that
drivers/net/pcmcia/smc91c92_cs.c has a dependency on drivers/net/mii.c. I played
with the Makefile and came up with the following two solutions:

1. -make the following sym. link:

ln -s drivers/net/mii.c drivers/net/pcmcia/mii.c

-apply the following patch:

The problem with these solutions is that if a PCI card that uses mii.c
is selected along with smc91c92_cs.c than two copies of mii.o will be
built. I don't know what will happen if the driver is built into the
kernel. I can't seem to find a solution that fixes this problem. It
seems to me that this problem exists because mii.c is in a different
directory. 

Does anyone have any suggestions on how to fix this?

Please cc me as I'm not on the list.

The fix was posted yesterday on this list by Adrian Bunk:
