If so, can I > add your "tested-by" to this patch? here's what i can verify. if i start with stock linux 3.9 and copy in a known good .config with ATH-related stuff, here's the situation immediately after the copy: $ grep CONFIG_ATH .config CONFIG_ATH_COMMON=m CONFIG_ATH_CARDS=m # CONFIG_ATH_DEBUG is not set # CONFIG_ATH5K is not set # CONFIG_ATH5K_PCI is not set CONFIG_ATH9K_HW=m CONFIG_ATH9K_COMMON=m # CONFIG_ATH9K_BTCOEX_SUPPORT is not set CONFIG_ATH9K=m CONFIG_ATH9K_PCI=y # CONFIG_ATH9K_AHB is not set # CONFIG_ATH9K_DEBUGFS is not set CONFIG_ATH9K_RATE_CONTROL=y # CONFIG_ATH9K_HTC is not set # CONFIG_ATH6KL is not set $ which is fine and represents a valid collection of settings for 3.9. but here's where things go wrong in the original case: $ make localmodconfig HOSTCC scripts/basic/fixdep HOSTCC scripts/kconfig/conf.o SHIPPED scripts/kconfig/zconf.tab.c SHIPPED scripts/kconfig/zconf.lex.c SHIPPED scripts/kconfig/zconf.hash.c HOSTCC scripts/kconfig/zconf.tab.o HOSTLD scripts/kconfig/conf using config: '.config' vboxnetadp config not found!! vboxnetflt config not found!! vboxdrv config not found!! vboxpci config not found!! # # configuration written to .config # $ grep CONFIG_ATH .config # CONFIG_ATH_CARDS is not set <-- obviously wrong, all my ATH stuff is gone $ if i apply your patch and do this all over again, then i retain all the ATH-related stuff after the "make localmodconfig": $ grep CONFIG_ATH .config CONFIG_ATH_COMMON=m CONFIG_ATH_CARDS=m # CONFIG_ATH_DEBUG is not set # CONFIG_ATH5K is not set # CONFIG_ATH5K_PCI is not set CONFIG_ATH9K_HW=m CONFIG_ATH9K_COMMON=m # CONFIG_ATH9K_BTCOEX_SUPPORT is not set CONFIG_ATH9K=m CONFIG_ATH9K_PCI=y # CONFIG_ATH9K_AHB is not set # CONFIG_ATH9K_DEBUGFS is not set CONFIG_ATH9K_RATE_CONTROL=y # CONFIG_ATH9K_HTC is not set # CONFIG_ATH6KL is not set $ so the patch appears to resolve at least that specific issue. rday -- ======================================================================== Robert P.
