Hi!

I was trying to enable a driver (trivial task, right) and spent like
10 minutes scratching my hand.

menuconfig is nice, because you can search with '/' and it tells you
the dependencies, and the path to the config option.

What is not nice is that you have to write down the path, and then
follow it manually.

What is extremely ugly is that if you have option like
MEDIA_SUBDRV_AUTOSELECT=y enabled, it hides other config
options. Menuconfig tells you where your option should be, but it is
not there and you wonder what is going on...

Any ideas?

Best regards,
									Pavel
