>Description:
When the kernel is built along with all the modules, the latter don't seem to
apply configuration options specified in the kernel configuration file.
>How-To-Repeat:
For example, I don't want to compile ipfw into the kernel, but wish to use the
module. But, at the same time, I require divert sockets. So in the appropriate
kernel configuration file, applying common sense and logic, I comment out:
#options IPFIREWALL
and uncomment:
options IPDIVERT
I then happily make the kernel and all the modules, only to discover that the
module doesn't support divert sockets, and thus conclude that the configuration
option had no effect.
