Why would you want such placement? Potential problems: header files would have to be moved to include/asm-arm = headers pollution. All 4 drivers are, in fact, network (related) drivers. drivers/net/arm would probably make (some) sense if it was a single (or not so single) Ethernet driver. > Kconfig: > I'm not convinced about 'config IXP4XX_NETDEVICES'.

They are network devices, who would expect them there? How about the dependency mess (NET_ETHERNET etc.) that would be created? -- Krzysztof Halasa - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
