Subject: [PATCH/RFC] make MII and PHYLIB independent of NET_ETHERNET
Date: Sun, 19 Nov 2006 20:22:49 -0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20061119202249.f0acb41c.randy.dunlap@oracle.com> (raw)

From: Randy Dunlap <randy.dunlap@oracle.com>

PHYLIB can be used by non-NET_ETHERNET (10/100 ethernet) devices;
e.g., GIANFAR (gigabit) uses it.

We also have USB ethernet devices trying to use MII
without NET_ETHERNET being enabled, so move MII outside of
NET_ETHERNET, along with PHYLIB.

They both still depend on NET && NETDEVICES.
