| |
Hi there.
On looking through the configuration files, I came across a case where it appears to be currently possible to select two mutually exclusive options, namely the AppleTalk<=>IP recapsulation facility.
At the moment, the relevant part of the configuration file reads as follows:
Q> dep_tristate 'Appletalk-IP driver support' CONFIG_IPDDP $CONFIG_ATALK Q> if [ "$CONFIG_IPDDP" != "n" ]; then Q> bool 'IP to Appletalk-IP Encapsulation support' CONFIG_IPDDP_ENCAP Q> bool 'Appletalk-IP to IP Decapsulation support' CONFIG_IPDDP_DECAP Q> fi
The enclosed patch, as well as amending Configure.help accordingly, changes this to read as follows, which I believe to be more rational:
Q> dep_tristate 'Appletalk to IP driver support' CONFIG_IPDDP $CONFIG_ATALK Q> if [ "$CONFIG_IPDDP" != "n" ]; then Q> choice ' Recapsulation support direction' \ Q> "Decapsulate CONFIG_IPDDP_DECAP \ Q> Encapsulate CONFIG_IPDDP_ENCAP" Decapsulate Q> fi
Comments, anybody?
Best wishes from Riley.
