_My_ (outdated) Kernel configuration
NOTE: I don't keep track of new options in this page anymore
This is not a how-to-build guide. This is a list of kernel configuration options I use.
2.6.32-3-amd64+toi config
I usually build from a previous or distro configuration, this list includes mostly the stuff I disable instead of the one I enable (since distro kernels have lots of options enabled to be useful to many). I'm generally conservative when disabling stuff and only drivers I'm 99% sure I won't use anytime soon get disabled.
Networking → HAM Radio, ATM, DECnet, IPX, AppleTalk, Econet,
WAN Router, PhoNet, DCB (Data Center Bridging), Packet Generator, CAN, IrDA, RxRPC, WiMAX, Plan 9 resource sharing
