01 March 2009 Disable build of all IFF_NEEDSGIANT drivers
in 8.x
Slightly delayed while USB NDIS was sorted out, I will be moving ahead with
disabling the build of all IFF_NEEDSGIANT drivers in HEAD later today.
This patch is now committed; while I've done build testing (etc) there's
always a chance of problems -- please drop me an e-mail if I missed
something.
Just to be clear -- if you are a user of:
if_ar
if_sr
Or one of the USB network interface drivers from the old USB stack (not the
new USB2 stack), then you will now find your device drivers are not part of
the build. USB users should use the new USB stack if they need network
interface drivers; if_ar and if_sr drivers will need to modify the device
drivers to be MPSAFE and then submit patches.
