Date: Tue, 6 Mar 2012 23:21:32 -0500 From: "John Stoffel" <john@...ffel.org> To: linux-kernel@...r.kernel.org Subject: Why does NET_VENDOR_DEC default to y? 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...
