I have tripped over a bug in my new setup. If you don't build
rtllib.ko as a module, the r8192e driver cannot be a module either. The
opposite is not true because if rtllib is a module, r8192e will always
be a module.
Currently the r8192e forces a module, that is how I noticed the
problem. There are a few of ways we can go:
1) Force rtllib to always be a module. This is the cleanest solution
since you cannot produce a non-compiling driver.
2) Remove the requirement that r8192e always be a module and rely on the
user to get the settings right.
3) Magic Kconfig fu that gets r8192e driver right.
4) Modify the driver to work right in the mixed case. I don't want to
do this only because it fixes an edge case only hit by people who
use all config yes or config random.
Cheers,
Sean
