Merely change CONFIG_SYSFS_DEPRECATED to be set to yes, and it should

new kernel options?
1. This doesn't fix it.
I think acpi is now being fingered here, right?
Eh? How. Backing out all your patches from -mm fixes it.
The deprecated stuff does not fix it, it's the same as before.

That's because /sys/class/net/<interface> is now a symlink instead of a
directory (and that hasn't anything to do with acpi, but rather with
the conversions in the driver tree). Seems the directory -> symlink
change shouldn't be done since it's impacting user space...

You know which individual patch in -mm broke that? Can't see it easily.
Then we can just test across all the machines with just that one backed
out.

Thanks,

M.
