The makefile in drivers/net goes like this: obj-$(CONFIG_SLIP) += slip.o ifeq ($(CONFIG_SLIP),y) obj-$(CONFIG_SLIP_COMPRESSED) += slhc.o else ifeq ($(CONFIG_SLIP),m) obj-$(CONFIG_SLIP_COMPRESSED) += slhc.o endif endif CONFIG_SLIP_COMPRESSED is a `bool' value. The way the makefile is written, selecting compression will always build slhc.o into the kernel, even if SLIP is a module. This doesn't seem like the way it ought to work. p. - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
