Comment 4 Attila Stehr 2006-07-24 13:56:56 UTC
same with
Device Drivers---> USB Support---> USB DSL modem support  --->
and
Cryptographic options---> Hardware crypto devices  --->
Comment 5 Daniel Drake (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2006-07-24 15:38:52 UTC
Is this reproducible on 2.6.17-r4? It is just about to go stable.
Comment 6 Attila Stehr 2006-07-29 11:19:26 UTC
Okay,

using v2.6.17-gentoo-r4

"Multimedia Capabilities Port drivers  --->" isn't present

"Device Drivers---> USB Support---> USB DSL modem support  --->"
and
"Cryptographic options---> Hardware crypto devices  --->"
still can not be accessed.
Comment 7 Daniel Drake (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2006-08-12 04:46:02 UTC
You have just overlooked some dependencies. menuconfig refuses to display a blank menu.

All hardware crypto drivers are x86 (32bit) only. All USB ATM drivers depend on CONFIG_ATM which you have not enabled.

To aid with dependency solving, try searching for the option you want. For example, for the speedtouch DSL modem driver, type /SPEEDTOUCH

    Depends on: USB && USB_ATM 

Then: /USB_ATM

    Depends on: USB && ATM
