The suggested patch has one non-obvious side effect which somebody in irda needs to verify is OK. Previously irda_proto_init() and irda_device_init() were called after every other driver had initialized. Now irda_proto_init() is called based on the object order in the top level Makefile, so irda is initialized before i2c, telephony, acpi and mddev. Is this a valid initialization order? If not, move DRIVERS-$(CONFIG_IRDA) += drivers/net/irda/irda.o to the end of the drivers list and document why it needs to be there. - 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/
