I agree with you there if it was removed before, maybe then only the help section of ath9k should be changed to say that you have to enable either PCI/PCIe or AHB support for it to work? Because it doesn't seem to be possible to make it choose that option and still make it removable IF ath9k is chosen. It seems you either need to default it to y (with default y) or make it unremovable if ath9k is selected (with select ATH9K_PCI for ATH9K). > > Regards, > Gabor Kind regards, Daniel Kuehn
