Subject: Small 2.6.11.8 airo.c issue
Date: Fri, 06 May 2005 23:10:37 -0500 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <427C3FBD.mailOLE1FRMAW@hongkong> (raw)
I ran into a small configuration problem a couple of days ago while
using menuconfig to setup a new kernel for my laptop. Basically,
it refused to show the airo.c driver as an option. After looking
at the Kconfig files I figured out it was because I did not have ISA
enabled -- but I'm not using an ISA version of the card so it should
not be a dependency.
I originally reported it to Jean Tourrilhes but he said that netdev
would be a better place to send it and that Javier might know why it
was added. My original message is included below.
