If CONFIG_NET is disabled kobject_uevent_net_broadcast() will be a no-op and so no uevent are sent and so 'udevadm settle' won't really do anything for you. We check for /proc/net to see if CONFIG_NET was enabled. Signed-off-by: Luis Chamberlain <mcgrof@kernel.org> --- common/config | 9 ++++++++- 1 file changed, 8 insertions(+), 1 deletion(-)
