Is it really optional - can you build the driver without it?
This document needs some help... I'm missing a number of things that are *not* marked as "optional" (jfsutils, reiserfsprogs, pcmciautils, ppp, ..) and somehow my system works fine :) It would be nice to document *why* users might need a specific tool.
But I guess we aren't going to do that now. I can apply this, but I do wonder about the "optional" marking.
Thanks,
jon
