That's just FUD. oldconfig is intended to be used on minor version upgrades and is generally highly reliable. It can cause problems when configuration options move, but manual configuration each time suffers from the same thing and wastes a lot of time each time you upgrade. As long as you read the help text when working through oldconfig, you shouldn't have problems. To the OP, I'd try building the driver as a module, then you can look for messages when modprobing it with various options. -- Neil Bothwick Reality is an obstacle to hallucination.
