I just tried building a 3.3-rc6 kernel, based on my 3.1.0-rc4 kernel
config that I'm running. Sue me, I don't upgrade my home server
quickly.
Anyway, I was watching the 'make oldconfig' zoom by and I noticed that
I was suddenly adding in DEC networking cards. Now I admit I loved
the tulip cards from ages ago, but this is crazy. I haven't had a DEC
card in my systems for years, and it's not like you find them in new
systems.
So I poked into drivers/net/ethernet/dec/Kconfig and the stupid thing
is now setup so that NET_VENDOR_DEC defaults to Y. Wtf? Why do I
suddenly have to build in these drivers now? Or even get asked about
them by default now?
Maybe I'm just being too testy...

The new "vendor" Kconfig guards default to 'y', not the drivers
themselves.

Thanks for the info. I see that not all of the new vendor Kconfig
default to y, so I was just surprised by the change and it not being
consistent. And looking more carefully at my old config, I see that I
did have DEC Tulip cards listed as M, so it's all my fault.
Sorry for the noise.
