mac80211 menu option is missing in backports using a kernel with imx_v6_v7_defconfig but is fine with x86 kernel config. This causes all the wifi drivers that depend on mac80211 to be hidden. I built the kernel with the default imx config... export PATH=/home/xxx/gcc-linaro-arm-linux-gnueabi-2012.04-20120426_linux/bin/:$PATH export CROSS_COMPILE=/home/xxx/gcc-linaro-arm-linux-gnueabi-2012.04-20120426_linux/bin/arm-linux-gnueabi- export ARCH=arm make imx_v6_v7_defconfig make uImage LOADADDR=0x70008000 when I run the backports menuconfig mac80211 is hidden.... make menuconfig CROSS_COMPILE=/home/xxx/gcc-linaro-arm-linux-gnueabi-2012.04-20120426_linux/bin/arm-linux-gnueabi- ARCH=arm KLIB_BUILD=/home/xxx/imx_linux-3.10/ KLIB=~/home/xxx/rootfs/ Searching for mac80211 in backport's menuconfig shows its dependences are met Symbol: MAC80211 [=n] Type : tristate Prompt: Generic IEEE 802.11 Networking Stack (mac80211) Defined at net/mac80211/Kconfig:1 Depends on: m && <choice> && CFG80211 [=m] && CRYPTO [=y] && CRYPTO_ARC4 && CRYPTO_AES [=y] && CRYPTO_CCM && CRC32 [=y] Selects: BACKPORT_AVERAGE [=n] If I point backports to an x86 kernel mac80211 magically appears make menuconfig KLIB_BUILD=/home/xxx/x86_linux-3.10/ KLIB=/home/xxx/rootfs/ Something in the imx_v6_v7_defconfig making backports unhappy? backports broken?
