The source files are there:
| Code: |
# ls drivers/net/wireless/bcm43xx/
Kconfig bcm43xx_ethtool.h bcm43xx_phy.h bcm43xx_sysfs.h
Makefile bcm43xx_ilt.c bcm43xx_pio.c bcm43xx_wx.c
bcm43xx.h bcm43xx_ilt.h bcm43xx_pio.h bcm43xx_wx.h
bcm43xx_debugfs.c bcm43xx_leds.c bcm43xx_power.c bcm43xx_xmit.c
bcm43xx_debugfs.h bcm43xx_leds.h bcm43xx_power.h bcm43xx_xmit.h
bcm43xx_dma.c bcm43xx_main.c bcm43xx_radio.c
bcm43xx_dma.h bcm43xx_main.h bcm43xx_radio.h
bcm43xx_ethtool.c bcm43xx_phy.c bcm43xx_sysfs.c

If I make menuconfig, or make gconfig, or make xconfig, and select down through
Device Drivers -> Network Devices -> Wireless LAN -> 802.11
The bcm43xx driver is not listed.
Now, I can search in menuconfig or xconfig for the string bcm43, and it finds the driver right away, telling me where I need to navigate to find it. But, as I mentioned, when I go there it's not an option.
I figured an easy fix would be to put CONFIG_BCM43XX=m into the .config file, but alas that has no effect, even after a make clean -- the driver just doesn't get built.
What can I do to get it to build this module?
EDIT: Perfect! thanks! Any idea why it isn't just a hard dependency like so many other parts of the kernel?
