You mean MII? Doesn't `select MII' do the right thing?
Did fail (MII compiled in when driver was modular) at least once for me.
Strange. Do you remember what went wrong? Missing exports in MII?
To the contrary - duplicate symbols in both kernel and module. I'll try to
reproduce it.
mii: exports duplicate symbol mii_link_ok (owned by kernel)
(MII was builtin even after I switched to ethernat as module)
The error actually results from a leftover mii.ko with no known function.
Deleted that, and the module loads fine, using the builtin MII. Why it
even attempts to load the obsolete module - no idea. Does depmod double
check that symbols aren't already in the kernel symbol table?
Probably not.
I've seen similar issues with switching from modular to builtin driver
builds: udev will happily load the (old) driver module after scanning
sysfs, while the driver is already builtin.
Always make sure to remove the old *.ko files...
