Message-ID: <20010523132346.A16993@thyrsus.com> Reply-To: esr@thyrsus.com Mail-Followup-To: "Eric S.

My cross-reference generator shows this: snark:~/src/linux$ scripts/kxref.py | grep GT96 CONFIG_MIPS_GT96100: drivers/net/Config.in CONFIG_MIPS_GT96100ETH: drivers/net/Makefile drivers/net/Config.in drivers/net/gt96100eth.c The simplest guess is that the guard part is just wrong. Can anybody shed any light on this? -- Eric S. Raymond The saddest life is that of a political aspirant under democracy. His failure is ignominious and his success is disgraceful. -- H.L. Mencken
