In that light, although it's not being counted as a regression, my report about CONFIG_USB_USBNET stuff starting to make use of mii_* stuff in 19-rc3, without making SURE it's available is still outstanding, unfixed, in 19-rc4 (checked just now by untarring a fresh 2.6.18 copy, applying the rc4 patch, copying in the known-broken .config from rc3, make oldconfig, then my usual make bzImage && make modules). I've pootled around 'make menuconfig' as well, 'N' and then re-Y/M'ing USBNET things and it has no effect on the PHYLIB stuff. I know patches were flying around in the discussion, have none of them been shaken down sufficiently for inclusion or has the final patch simply not been pushed to/seen by Linus yet? 'Ironically' I don't actually _use_ the usbnet stuff, I'd only enabled it in case my gf pestered me to test her bluetooth dongle for some reason. Thus I'm only likely to keep tabs on this if I specifically think to, it won't show up in my normal usage patterns. -Ath --=20 - Athanasius =3D Athanasius(at)miggy.org / http://www.miggy.org/ Finger athan(at)fysh.org for PGP key "And it's me who is my enemy.
