Code placement: Queue Manager & NPE code => arch/arm/mach-ixp4xx WAN driver code => drivers/net/wan Eth code => drivers/net/arm Kconfig: I'm not convinced about 'config IXP4XX_NETDEVICES'. I'd lose it together with the drivers/net/ixp4xx directory Ethernet & HSS code should probably select NPE and QMGR (rather than depend) but these options should still be exposed in arch/arm/mach- ixp4xx/Kconfig Michael-Luke Jones PS: Please cc me on replies as I only subscribe to l-a-k. - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe netdev" in the body of a message to majordomo@...r.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
