Yes, the problem was due to missing dependent options.. I had incorrectly assumed that dependent options would get pulled in or perhaps a error would be generated. It worked after I added following 3 options stated as dependent options in a Kernel configuration database that I saw:
CONFIG_ISA CONFIG_EISA CONFIG_NET_PCI I am still iterating to check if all three of the above are really needed or or if just the CONFIG_NET_PCI option is needed. I had enabled the option using a .cfg file. Also checking again to see if a warning gets generated when the dependent options are not included. BTW what does a message such as following in the .config file mean ? "CONFIG_xxxxx is not set" Thanks Rahul -----Original Message----- From: Bruce Ashfield [mailto:bruce.ashfi...@windriver.com] Sent: Wednesday, August 31, 2011 6:27 PM To: Zanussi, Tom Cc: Saxena, Rahul; yocto@yoctoproject.org Subject: Re: [yocto] e100 driver does not build On 11-08-31 7:18 PM, Tom Zanussi wrote: > > On Wed, 2011-08-31 at 16:04 -0700, Saxena, Rahul wrote: >> I am unable to get the e100 driver to build for my BSP. >> >> I have configured to build it as a module.

This is most likely what it is. Out of curiosity, how did you enable the option ? Via a config fragement (.cfg file) or via menuconfig .. or something else? If you tried to set something via a fragment and it doesn't make it to the final .config, you should see a warning during the kernel build phase.
