...but that does not remove from you the need to respond
to questions concerning kernel config when doing make world.
It appears not to store certain sub-menus of the configuration
that you may have opened out when doing your kernel config.
This only seems to be an issue for modules previously
compiled as modules which you change to be compiled in,
e.g. on RDC, choosing r6040 ether driver to be compiled
into the kernel results in prompt for R6040_NAPI support.
-biff.
