Does anybody know what it depends on? I need the functionality for DVB tuner drivers, must be some small option that I am missing, works in 2.6.24.

Copying .config from 2.6.24 did not make the section show up either.

Do you mean Device Driver -> I2C support? It should depends on I/O Memory and according to mailing list, the only arch that don't have it is OS/309

I2C algorithms are there, in 2.6.26 too, but the options to enable them were removed. They should be automatically enabled, if you enable something in the kernel config that needs them. See: http://groups.google.com/group/linux.kernel/browse_thread/thread/6a107d4a704d08f5

Of course, this sucks if you need to compile some modules outside of the kernel, that needs the i2c stuff.

In addition, it seems that some DVB devices that are supported by the stock kernel stopped to work in 2.6.26, namely, Cablestar 2 PCI (supported by b2c2_flexcop_pci and stv0297 frontend) stopped working. I'd already made a bug report but I'm lazy

Ah, the structure of DVB/ATSC adapter menu had changed aswell to put Budget cards under its own SAA7146 menu.
