 |
|
hi folks,
something for the ones who know their way around with kernel-issues:
nice little problem i found... i was just in the process of configuring the 2.6.39-r1 (gentoo-sources) kernel when i found out that i no longer was able to select config_r8187se (RealTek RTL8187SE Wireless LAN NIC driver) as build-in... only as module was available...
after a bit of surfing through the config i finally went to the mighty googlez and found for example this link:
http://lkml.org/lkml/2011/3/28/251
which brought me to just remove that "depends on m" line from the drivers/staging/rtl8187se/Kconfig file.
the problem stated in the above link | Quote: | building them as built-in results in many errors like:
(.text+0x1b160): multiple definition of `ieee80211_sta_ps_sleep' |
won't turn up if you disable config_mac80211...
so with the following settings for example
| Code: |
-> Networking support
-> Wireless
<*> cfg80211 - wireless configuration API
[ ] nl80211 testmode command
[ ] enable developer warnings
[ ] cfg80211 regulatory debugging
[*] enable powersave by default
[ ] cfg80211 DebugFS entries
[*] cfg80211 wireless extensions compatibility
[*] Wireless extensions sysfs files
{*} Common routines for IEEE802.11 drivers
[ ] lib80211 debugging messages
< > Generic IEEE 802.11 Networking Stack (mac80211)
|
it will build.
now my question(s):
is this a bug?
file this in bugs.gentoo.org?
or somewhere for the kernel developers? (where?)
or do i from now on ALWAYS have to patch that file for myself somehow??
thanks for your help fellas
greetings

If one of the drivers' dependencies is set as a module, then the driver cannot be built in. Could you post the output of: | Code: | | cat .config|grep =m |
? |

There is no need to use cat here. All modern grep implementations can read files on their own, so grep =m .config is simpler and works as well. |

hey folks, thank you for replying. sorry it has taken me so long to answer but all hell was breaking loose here 
anyways, i'll post the output below, but allow me a question: why do you need that??
in the link i posted is the explanation why someone edited the specified Kconfig file to include the line "depends on m" so it will always only build as module.
as i wrote i just removed that line again and was able to build the kernel without the errors mentioned behind teh link...
sooo, here teh output of "grep =m .config"
