From d44c3a2e0e5d2c75d22284462c66d166604b1f18 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Stephen Hemminger Date: Fri, 20 Mar 2009 19:36:44 +0000 Subject: [PATCH] netdev: expose net_device_ops compat as config option Now that most network device drivers in (all but one in x86_64 allmodconfig) support net_device_ops. Expose it as a configuration parameter. Still need to address even older 32 bit drivers, and other arch before compatiablity can be scheduled for removal in some future release.
