Date: Tue, 13 Mar 2007 11:55:38 +0000 From: Ralf Baechle <ralf@...ux-mips.org> To: "David S. Miller" <davem@...emloft.net>, linux-hams@...r.kernel.org, netdev@...r.kernel.org Subject: [NET] AX.25 Kconfig and docs updates and fixes o The AX.25 Howto is unmaintained since several years. I've replaced it with a wiki at http://www.linux-ax25.org which provides more uptodate information. o Change default for AX25_DAMA_SLAVE to Y. AX25_DAMA_SLAVE only compiles in support for DAMA but doesn't activate it. I hope this gets Linux distributions to ship their AX.25 kernels with AX25_DAMA_SLAVE enabled. The price for this would be very small. o Delete historic changelog from comments, that's what SCM systems are meant to do. o ---help--- in Kconfig looks so yellingly eye insulting. Use just help. o Rewrite the commented out piece of old Linux 2.4 configuration language to Kconfig for consistency. o Fixup dependencies.
