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
