[PATCH] iwlwifi: Correctly deal with monolithic kernels

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Post 3.16 any non-modular kernel ends up with IWLWIFI selectable but neither of the 
underlying required DVM or MVM drivers. This violates the principle of least 
astonishment.
If IWLWIFI only supports a modular system the main IWLWIFI should depend on m as well. 
Otherwise, removing the "depends on m" allows monolithic kernels to work once again.
