Bug#378542: linux-2.6: usbmon.ko useless without CONFIG_DEBUG_FS

[Timo Juhani Lindfors <timo.lindfors@iki.fi>]

Package: linux-2.6
Severity: wishlist

usbmon.ko included in e.g. linux-image-2.6.17-1-686 version 2.6.17-2
seems to be useless without CONFIG_DEBUG_FS. If I do "modprobe usbmon"
on such a kernel "dmesg" prints just "usbmon: debugfs is not
available".

I suggest you either enable CONFIG_DEBUG_FS or disable CONFIG_USB_MON.

Google finds at least
http://www.ussg.iu.edu/hypermail/linux/kernel/0502.0/1244.html where
the use of debugfs is discussed.
