I always wonder why there has not yet been constructed a mechanism that automatically pulls in devices that are needed to prevent compile failure. It wouldn't be too difficult, I assume, to have "device miibus" pulled in, when needed for certain devices. Or is there a good reason to allow people to compile, for example "device rl", without the miibus device? Having such a mechanism, would prevent lots of beginners in the kernel compiling stuff, to get frustrated with errors like above. Rob.
