I think they changed the kernel firmware config options back about that |
| 12 |
time (I run direct linus kernel git, the better to test new kernels and |
| 13 |
git-bisect bugs I come across, so 2.6.31 was some months ago for me). I |
| 14 |
do recall having to fiddle with it a bit for the (normally shipped with |
| 15 |
kernel sources) NIC driver I run, but don't recall exactly what version |
| 16 |
it was when I did. |

Anyway, in menuconfig, look under Device Drivers, Generic Driver |
| 19 |
Options. You may have to change some of them, using the help text if |
| 20 |
necessary. |
