That is useful, as I was unaware that comparison operators were allowed in forming the depends on expression. If it actually offered the benefit of automatic promotion/demotion to correct the configuration mismatch, then I would be all for it. The limitations of simply disabling generic HDLC support on mismatch (essentially what Krzysztof suggested) are not too bad. This would generally only happen on random kernel configuration tests. If a customer decides to use that method to configure a kernel, then they get what they deserve :-) (a chance to bug me for support) Thanks again, Paul
