to recap, current status of kernel source:
$ git show
commit d7d7271f421f1e45289f2a737c7f636c02c673ce
Merge: 96edcf3 c95789e
Author: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>
Date: Fri Apr 26 08:17:07 2013 -0700
...
next:
$ make distclean
next:
$ make allmodconfig
next:
$ make localmodconfig
at which time i get asked four questions that i respond to manually:
User namespace (USER_NS) [N/y/?] (NEW)
Require conversions between uid/gids and their internal representation (UIDGID_STRICT_TYPE_CHECKS) [N/y/?] (NEW)
BT8XX GPIO abuser (GPIO_BT8XX) [N/m/y/?] (NEW)
EVM support (EVM) [N/y/?] (NEW)
for which i simply hit ENTER each time, and no errors. *however*, if i
run "make localmodconfig" a second time (which theoretically should be
acceptable, correct?), that's when 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 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
#
$
i assume it should be easy for someone else to reproduce this, but
if you want me to do any more testing later this afternoon, let me
know.
