Hi.
The MultiGate (COMX) synchronous serial boards driver (drivers/net/wan/comx.c) is dependent on procfs support (due to an #error define). This is not mentioned in the help text or reflected in the Config.in.
The first of the patches below changes drivers/net/wan/Config.in to make CONFIG_COMX depend on CONFIG_PROC_FS. Alternatively or additionally the second patch can be applied which includes the dependency information in the Configure.help text for CONFIG_COMX. I'll leave the decision to wiser minds.
