Hi! I use the kernel 2.6.20-r8. In this new version the option CONFIG_TIMER_STATS not include, but in original kernel 2.6.20-r8 this option exist.

Somebody knows what happens?

This is only available in 2.6.21+ kernels; not really sure what you mean about the 'original kernel'.

Comment 2 Michel Filipe 2007-05-14 15:58:45 UTC

Original kernel is original tree without external patches. The URL this BUG has a patch to kernel 2.6.20 including the CONFIG_TIMER_STATS.

I not use the kernel 2.6.21 because wireless-tools-28 not support the Wireless Extension the new kernel and wireless-tools-29 support, but has many bugs.

Thanks! :D

Eh; a kernel that requires a patch to have the feature is hardly a vanilla kernel. Anyway, you need  2.6.21+ for this, NOTABUG.
