howdy - just ran into an issue with building a kernel that has EVDEV
enabled causing this error:

--- kernel.full ---
linking kernel.full
ld: error: undefined symbol: ixl_iw_pf_init
>>> referenced by if_ixl.c:900

*** [kernel.full] Error code 1


building a standard GENERIC kernel works without issue.  my "EVDEV" kern
conf has the following two lines added:

options         EVDEV_SUPPORT           # D10265 from phabricator
device          evdev

Not sure if anyone else has seen this?

Hi,

check if you have 'options IXL_IW' in your kernel conf. It's removed from
GENERIC. I had the same problem here with my customized conf.

ah - that was totally it i think.  i was lazy and just copied GENERIC to
GENERIC-EVDEV so it got of sync.  i've now re-created my EVDEV config to
just include GENERIC.

thanks for the heads up!

You can avoid your kernconf going out of sync by including GENERIC in it
and then adding just your customizations.

include GENERIC
ident GENERIC-EVDEV
options EVDEV_SUPPORT
device evdev

things too well :)
