probably a simple explanation for this, but my first time playing
with "make localmodconfig" and it appears to be tossing all my
ath9k-related module settings.
currently running ubuntu on a 64-bit asus laptop with the following
ath9k-related modules:
$ lsmod | grep ath9k
ath9k 149545 0
mac80211 558577 1 ath9k
ath9k_common 14054 1 ath9k
ath9k_hw 408874 2 ath9k,ath9k_common
ath 23828 3 ath9k,ath9k_common,ath9k_hw
cfg80211 211955 3 ath9k,mac80211,ath
$
starting with current kernel "git pull", i do:
$ make allmodconfig
at which point i get:
$ grep ATH9K .config
CONFIG_ATH9K_HW=m
CONFIG_ATH9K_COMMON=m
CONFIG_ATH9K_DFS_DEBUGFS=y
CONFIG_ATH9K_BTCOEX_SUPPORT=y
CONFIG_ATH9K=m
CONFIG_ATH9K_PCI=y
CONFIG_ATH9K_AHB=y
CONFIG_ATH9K_DEBUGFS=y
CONFIG_ATH9K_DFS_CERTIFIED=y
CONFIG_ATH9K_MAC_DEBUG=y
CONFIG_ATH9K_RATE_CONTROL=y
CONFIG_ATH9K_HTC=m
CONFIG_ATH9K_HTC_DEBUGFS=y
$
which looks reasonable(?). then run:
$ make localmodconfig
have to answer maybe 4 questions manually, at which point i have:
$ grep ATH9K .config
$
that doesn't look good, i should definitely have module selections for
ath9k stuff, no? and if i run that command again, i get:
$ make localmodconfig
using config: '.config'
WARNING: ATH9K_HW is required, but nothing in the
current config selects it.
WARNING: ATH_COMMON is required, but nothing in the
current config selects it.
WARNING: ATH9K_COMMON is required, but nothing in the
current config selects it.
module ath9k did not have configs CONFIG_ATH9K
module uas did not have configs CONFIG_USB_UAS
module ath did not have configs CONFIG_ATH_COMMON
module ath9k_hw did not have configs CONFIG_ATH9K_HW
module ath9k_common did not have configs CONFIG_ATH9K_COMMON
#
# configuration written to .config
#
$
so there seems to be something related specifically to ath9k that
doesn't play well with "localmodconfig". or am i doing something
silly?
