I just tried building a 3.3-rc6 kernel, based on my 3.1.0-rc4 kernel config that I'm running. Sue me, I don't upgrade my home server quickly.
Anyway, I was watching the 'make oldconfig' zoom by and I noticed that I was suddenly adding in DEC networking cards. Now I admit I loved the tulip cards from ages ago, but this is crazy. I haven't had a DEC card in my systems for years, and it's not like you find them in new systems.
So I poked into drivers/net/ethernet/dec/Kconfig and the stupid thing is now setup so that NET_VENDOR_DEC defaults to Y. Wtf? Why do I suddenly have to build in these drivers now? Or even get asked about them by default now?
Maybe I'm just being too testy...
John
