User-Agent: Mozilla/4.77 [en] (X11; U; Linux 2.4.8-xfs i686)

Description of problem:
drivers/net/Config.in has an extra newline at line 278, breaking xconfig

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):


How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. cd /usr/src/linux-2.4
2. make xconfig
3.
	

Actual Results:  [root@Lite linux-2.4.9-7]# make xconfig
rm -f include/asm
( cd include ; ln -sf asm-i386 asm)
make -C scripts kconfig.tk
make[1]: Entering directory `/usr/src/linux-2.4.9-7/scripts'

cat header.tk >> ./kconfig.tk
./tkparse < ../arch/i386/config.in >> kconfig.tk
drivers/net/Config.in: 278: unknown command
make[1]: *** [kconfig.tk] Error 1
make[1]: Leaving directory `/usr/src/linux-2.4.9-7/scripts'
make: *** [xconfig] Error 2


Expected Results:  xconfig should have happily appeared.  :)

Additional info:

Here's the fix for drivers/net/Config.in

Then, drivers/addon/Config.in breaks for me (on a 7.1 box)

You've got dep_tristate's in there w/o dependencies

dep_tristate '   Support for the Broadcom 5700/5701 Gigabit Ethernet
Adapters' CONFIG_NET_BROADCOM
dep_tristate '   Support for the Intel(R) PRO/100 Family of Adapters'

Not sure how you want it set up...
