Description Paul Osmialowski 2018-06-30 07:07:09 UTC
Having so many different gentoo boxes it became nightmare to maintain dedicated kernel configurations for all of them. So I started to cut corners and use genkernel instead. When I started to use one of such boxes for interfacing with embedded systems I've found that although many of USB serial adapters are enabled in default genkernel configuration, one of the most popular (prolofic pl2303) is not enabled! Doing `genkernel --menuconfig all` for enabling such basic thing isn't a pleasant perspective.


Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. emerge genkernel
2. genkernel all
3.
Actual Results:  
No pl2303.ko module built

Expected Results:  
pl2303.ko module built

Mh,

> CONFIG_USB_SERIAL_PL2303=m

is set everywhere except x86_64...
