Hm. Adding those lines made the smc9194 driver compile fine, but now at the very end when I'm compiling the kernel to vmlinux, it complains about
drivers/net/net.o(.sbss+0x54): multiple definition of `nbpmac_boot_infos' arch/ppc/platform.o(.sbss+0x28): first defined here I suppose I could try to find which source file for platform.o defines nbpmac_boot_infos, but I thought you would probably know what I should do to fix this right away... Any ideas??
