Also sprach Lars Kellogg-Stedman: } This has been bugging for me a long, long time. The help text for } CONFIG_NETLINK_DEV says: } } "This is a backward compatibility option, choose Y for now. } This option will be removed soon." } } Okay, but it's said this throughout the 2.2.x series, and it's still there } in the latest development kernel. What's the story here? What exactly } does "netlink device emulation" get us? } } Enquiring minds want to know, } Here's all the places I found which reference CONFIG_NETLINK_DEV in the 2.3.49 kernel:
./net/Makefile: ifeq ($(CONFIG_NETLINK_DEV),m) ./net/socket.c: #ifdef CONFIG_NETLINK_DEV ./net/netsyms.c: #if defined(CONFIG_NETLINK_DEV) || defined(CONFIG_NETLINK_DEV_MODULE) ./net/Config.in: tristate ' Netlink device emulation' CONFIG_NETLINK_DEV ./net/netlink/Makefile: ifeq ($(CONFIG_NETLINK_DEV), y) ifeq ($(CONFIG_NETLINK_DEV), m) ./net/netlink/af_netlink.c: #if defined(CONFIG_NETLINK_DEV) || defined(CONFIG_NETLINK_DEV_MODULE) ./arch/ppc/defconfig: # CONFIG_NETLINK_DEV is not set ./arch/ppc/configs/apus_defconfig: # CONFIG_NETLINK_DEV is not set ./arch/ppc/configs/common_defconfig: # CONFIG_NETLINK_DEV is not set ./arch/ppc/configs/gemini_defconfig: # CONFIG_NETLINK_DEV is not set ./arch/ppc/configs/pmac_defconfig: # CONFIG_NETLINK_DEV is not set ./Documentation/Configure.help: CONFIG_NETLINK_DEV
