BUT my users and other people in the kernel community do certainly have. Nobody will find the bcm43xx option anymore, if we depend on SSB. I mean, people do even seriously complain about the filenames of the firmware and so on. So adding a dep on SSB would generate about 3 to 4 bugreports each day, I'd say from experience. So, once you suggested that menuconfig should be changed to show options "greyed out" when deps are not met. Are there any patches available?
