X-Mailer: VM 8.1.2 under 23.2.1 (x86_64-pc-linux-gnu) Sender: linux-kernel-owner@vger.kernel.org List-ID: X-Mailing-List: linux-kernel@vger.kernel.org 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... John
