Changing defconfig files might fix the "automated test boot with defconfig" case but it won't fix the case of someone trying to automate a build and boot using a different, existing, config file. It ought to work too, and I do know people really do this. And just the fact that we would have to merge all of these defconfig changes through the networking tree is evidence of how it's really not reasonable to be doing things this way. Jeff, I think we need to revert the dependencies back to what they were before the drivers/net moves. Could you prepare a patch which does that?
