Unless you have a 100 Mb/s card and you don't know the same driver works with newer 1000 Mb/s models. IOW - questionable. A solution like a Kconfig entry symlink for driver which needs to support cards in two or more categories would be my favorite. It would be a total mess. However, some clever conditionals could make it better. One menu for both 100 and 1000 Mb/s, and something like: tristate 100Mbps (Y/N/M) tristate 1000Mbps (Y/N/M) ... if 100Mbps Realtek 8139 Intel E100 fi if 100Mbps || 1000Mbps forcedeath some_SIS_driver etc. fi if 1000Mbps E1000 ... Probably 10 Mbps drivers could lead the list. You could check for PCI, ISA and what not. This way each driver has only one entry, but if you know you have, say, 1 Gb/s Ethernet card only you can select 1 Gb/s and don't worry about 100-Mbps NVidias. I'd include that Tulip thing, too - no need for a separate menu (the directory is a different thing). -- Krzysztof Halasa - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line unsubscribe netdev in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
forcedeth: Reside in 100Mbit Kconfig but also supports 1000Mbit cards
Hello. I just needed some to tƣme to find out that the forcedeth driver I need for my dual-port 1000Mbit card on a asus M2N-SLI deluce mainboard resides in the 100Mbit category. Is there a special reason for example 10/100Mbit only cards that work with forcedeth? If all cards are 1000Mbit I would just move the Kconfig entry over. What would be the best way to deal with this if there are some 10/100Mbit cards which use the same driver as 1000Mbit cards? regards Stefan Schmidt - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line unsubscribe netdev in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html

There has been some mention of dropping the 10/100 and 1000 categories and just merging all of them together. Makes sense to me. --- ~Randy *** Remember to use Documentation/SubmitChecklist when testing your code *** - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line unsubscribe netdev in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
