Hmm, nowadays we _do_ have IPV6=y on popular distros. So this means TIPC would have to be builtin after this patch?? Still sounds harsh, right? At least on my OpenSUSE I have CONFIG_IPV6=y and CONFIG_TIPC=m. > TIPC cannot be =y unless IPV6=y. Interesting, I never correctly understand that "depends on" behavior. But even if it builds, how could TIPC module find and load IPV6 module? Does IPV6 module automatically become its dependency now I think? Thanks.
