The only complaint I've heard is that net/Kconfig is now > under device drivers. I didn't make that change, and I agree it sucks. This is likely a little OT for this thread, but I probably made that change (of grouping all networking options and drivers together). And I still think that they should all be grouped together -- whether it's under device drivers or a top-level Networking section. The real problem AFAICT is that Networking options includes some protocols and then Network Device Support includes some other protocols. Maybe if there was a Network Protocol section things could be clearer. ?? -- ~Randy - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
