From: Tony Breeds <tony@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> Temporarily ensure that Realtek 8185 and 8187 can only be built as modules. These two drivers share a number of common (global) functions. While a better long term solution is developed lets ensure that they are never built into the kernel, to avoid symbol conflicts.
