Subject: MenuConfig 2.4.20 does n0t show all drivers (ACPI, SONYPI, UDF_RW) + MAINTAINERS

Hello great Gurus ;)

Eventough the drivers are provided in the source tree,
some options are missing (?!) in the 'make menuconfig'
of the linux 2.4.20 kernel.

Thoses I found missing are the drivers for : ACPI, SONYPI, UDF_RW.

I added them -by hand- to .config and it went fine
(but only if I didn't relaunch make menuconfig after...)

Just letting you know :)

Besides, the MAINTAINERS file included in the kernel source is a
little out of date regarding the "CONFIGURE, MENUCONFIG, XCONFIG"
section : [email protected] is not the right person to write to anymore.

Just a stab in the dark but, have you tried turning on the experimental
features option? (from memory it's in the first menu).

You're right, they do appear after turning on the experimental features.
It's surprising as ACPI, for example, is not labeled as "experimental"...

Thank you anyway, you guys are doing a great job :)
(Thanks also for the eepro100 -alternative- driver)
