mac80211 menu option is missing in backports using a kernel with
imx_v6_v7_defconfig but is fine with x86 kernel config. This causes all
the wifi drivers that depend on mac80211 to be hidden.
I built the kernel with the default imx config...
export
PATH=/home/xxx/gcc-linaro-arm-linux-gnueabi-2012.04-20120426_linux/bin/:$PATH
export
CROSS_COMPILE=/home/xxx/gcc-linaro-arm-linux-gnueabi-2012.04-20120426_linux/bin/arm-linux-gnueabi-
export ARCH=arm
make imx_v6_v7_defconfig
make uImage LOADADDR=0x70008000
when I run the backports menuconfig mac80211 is hidden....
make menuconfig
CROSS_COMPILE=/home/xxx/gcc-linaro-arm-linux-gnueabi-2012.04-20120426_linux/bin/arm-linux-gnueabi-
ARCH=arm KLIB_BUILD=/home/xxx/imx_linux-3.10/ KLIB=~/home/xxx/rootfs/
Searching for mac80211 in backport's menuconfig shows its dependences are met
Symbol: MAC80211 [=n]
Type : tristate

CRYPTO_ARC4 && CRYPTO_AES [=y] && CRYPTO_CCM && CRC32 [=y]

If I point backports to an x86 kernel mac80211 magically appears
make menuconfig KLIB_BUILD=/home/xxx/x86_linux-3.10/ KLIB=/home/xxx/rootfs/
Something in the imx_v6_v7_defconfig making backports unhappy? backports
broken? Am I missing something for the cross compile?
using backports-3.13.2-1

Have you set CONFIG_CRYPTO_CCM in your kernel config? This is needed for
mac80211 in backports.

Enabling crypto_ccm and crypto_arc4 in the kernel fixed it. Thanks. I
guess I was looking for [=n] and didn't even see they were disabled.
