I missed that, sorry.

Gotcha. Should it be 'cp' or 'ln -sf' do you think? A symlink will give
you the dependancy behaviour automatically as the kernel dependancy rule
will include the driver, and you save space too.

Here's a patch for /usr/src/usr.sbin/config/mkmakefile.c that will
emit the dependancy as you've described; please let me know if it
works for you (beware snarf-n-barf damage) :
