now the third try as the list had problems:
I am trying to compile the kernel without CONFIG_INET for my machine at home,
just to save the extra memory. The problem is that the kernel does not link,
telling:
loopback.o(.text+0xfc): undefined reference to `eth_type_trans'
loopback.o(.text+0x18d): undefined reference to `eth_header'
loopback.o(.text+0x1a7): undefined reference to `eth_rebuild_header'
I do not understand this behaviour, but it was reproducable with all the
mentioned kernels, as the 'undefined references' are defined within
net/ethernet/eth.c which is linked to the kernel via
net/ethernet/ethernet.o and net/network.a.
I know that it is recommended to define CONFIG_INET for some reasons, and if
I do that, the kernel compiles without any problem, but I wanted to mention
this behaviour, since I think it is a (small) bug.
Thank you for your help
Oliver
