OK, so I have this embedded kernel whose network card used to work fine with the LLTEMAC option. The new one with LL_TEMAC doesn't. I still see the code with LLTEMAC in the source, but not in the available option in the .config file:

$ ack-grep LLTEMAC
drivers/net/ethernet/xilinx/xilinx_lltemac/Makefile:10:obj-$(CONFIG_XILINX_LLTEMAC) := xilinx_temac.o
drivers/net/ethernet/xilinx/xilinx_lltemac/xlltemac_main.c:2: * Xilinx Ethernet: Linux driver for the XPS_LLTEMAC core.
drivers/net/ethernet/xilinx/xilinx_lltemac/xlltemac_main.c:452:#ifdef CONFIG_XILINX_LLTEMAC_MARVELL_88E1111_RGMII
...
include/linux/xilinx_devices.h:83:/* LLTEMAC platform data */

Is there a way to compile the kernel with this removed option ? Simply adding CONFIG_XILINX_LLTEMAC=y CONFIG_XILINX_LLTEMAC_MARVELL_88E1111_GMII=y to the .config file does not do anything as the dislaimer states: # Automatically generated file; DO NOT EDIT.

Thanks.

Why not just update this individual driver to understand the new configuration option?

  • It's being phased out so the code is still there but the options to activate it are gone, as well as who knows what else... – dargaud Nov 25 '12 at 15:32
