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. > I just upgraded my system to a recent 2.6 kernel and noticed a small > bug in the configuration for the airo.c driver.
