Kernel build failure.

manobrow

My kernel failed compilation during the link stage because of some undefined references to ieee80211 functions. I am guessing that this is because I commented out some components that I didn't think I need. How do I know which components in my kernel config depend which others?
Thank you.
 
Usually, it's pretty obvious; for example, any 802.11 device still in your configuration will require the wlan device, and probably some of the other wlan_* devices as well.

Otherwise, there's often a comment to warn you.
 
You may also try looking into the following files:
/usr/src/sys/conf/NOTES
/usr/src/sys/`uname -m`/conf/NOTES

Check the output of dmesg right after boot. Everything that you need to keep in your custom kernel should be listed there.
 
Thanks go to everyone who tried to help. I feel I must apologize for forgetting to inform you that I got over the issue :)

It would be nice for the other members and for who is facing the same problem to know how.
