Yes, because of how the wlan/ath modules are built. You need to have
AH_SUPPORT_AR5416 in the kernel config file, as the driver/module
currently doesn't build without it.
I'm sorry for intruding in this topic, but it seems to me similar subject;
No problem. I also sometimes have to try for functional configs, before
kernel build again. Some kind of deps spec could be very useful. And
also some kind of notification for relevant kernel config changes,
introduced by updates, would be of help.
Did FreeBSD ever tried to make config variables structured and with
specified dependencies?
To make clear what I mean - is anyone tried to implement some deps spec
file (Or some special Makefile's sections, whatever), so if you
specified feature A in kernel, it can check if you also specified B
(which is required by A)?
In this way config could provide feedback when you trying to build
kernel without needed dependencies, and many peoples could save their
time not compiling non-buildable kernel.
I'll eventually fix that, but right now I just want to leave that
option in and not hack up the Makefile to define said option.
Otherwise other options (eg enabling 11n, enabling hal debugging, etc)
are completely ignored when building modules.
Same with IEEE80211_SUPPORT_MESH i believe. I should really
re-verify that.
