As a rule, if you are adding a new config file where one does not exists anywhere in the tree, it will not do what you want. Configs have to be set one way or the other, they cannot be undefined. That brings us to 2 points. First, Michael seems right, you are likely looking for CONFIG_LAN743X "Support for the Microchip LAN743x PCI Express Gigabit Ethernet chip" as I do not see a MICROCHIP_LAN_743X defined anywhere in tree. Second, moving the file from fedora to common will not actually change anything by itself. This is defined in Fedora because all of the dependencies are met. If the dependencies were met for RHEL, there would already exist a `redhat/configs/rhel/generic/CONFIG_LAN743X` file with it turned off. In this case, CONFIG_NET_VENDOR_MICROCHIP is turned off for RHEL, and must be enabled before you can also turn on CONFIG_LAN743X. As there are many other config options gated behind CONFIG_NET_VENDOR_MICROCHIP, they will all need to be set one way or the other for RHEL to make things work. You should be able to run `make dist-configs-check` error free for the change to be valid. -- _______________________________________________ kernel mailing list -- [email protected] To unsubscribe send an email to [email protected] Fedora Code of Conduct: https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/project/code-of-conduct/ List Guidelines: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines List Archives: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/[email protected] Do not reply to spam, report it: https://pagure.io/fedora-infrastructure/new_issue
