Message-ID: <20020118095346.GA4808@debian.local> Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Disposition: inline User-Agent: Mutt/1.3.24i Sender: owner-freebsd-stable@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk List-ID: List-Archive: (Web Archive) List-Help: (List Instructions) List-Subscribe: List-Unsubscribe: X-Loop: FreeBSD.ORG The documentation for the kernel, and the Handbook, say that if you don't have ethernet you can omit the pseudo-device for ether. If you do this, however, you can't include usb. If you try to do so you get the following error message: linking kernel usb_ethersubr.o: In function `usbintr': usb_ethersubr.o(text+0x31): undefined reference to ether_input' *** Error code 1 Incidentally, if you don't compile in usb but try to insert it later as a module, a similar message appears.
