Kernel modules --->
Network Support --->
would look something like this:
<*> kmod-batman-adv......................................... B.A.T.M.A.N.
Adv
[ ] enable verbose debug logging (NEW)
[*] enable bridge loop avoidance (NEW)
[*] enable distributed arp table (NEW)
[ ] enable network coding [requires promisc mode support] (NEW)
< > enable batctl
while at the same time, in:
Network --->
you would see this:
< > batctl........ B.A.T.M.A.N. Advanced user space configuration tool
batctl
where "enable batctl" and "batcl" toggle the same
CONFIG_PACKAGE_batctl, in two different places.
I'm just wondering if having a userspace package selection in the
"Kernel modules/Network Support" section as well as in the "Network"
section is beyond the pale or acceptable. I'm suggesting to accept
it, because it seems the most natural of the alternatives.
ACK/NACK?
Should I assume silence equals assent?
