agreed.

it isn't, and should be removed. i've been working on trimming the config
considerably to get it closer to debian defaults...

i was kind of confused to see hamradio stuff defined in 
debian/config/armel/config; hector's patch just copied that, and 
then added debian/config/armhf/config.mx5 (which needs some considerable 
cleanup).


> - What is the difference between armel and armhf kernel-wise?

main differences would be:

  ## file: "arch/arm/mm/Kconfig"
  CONFIG_CPU_V7=y
  CONFIG_ARM_THUMB=y
  
  ## file: "arch/arm/Kconfig"
  CONFIG_VFP=y
  CONFIG_VFPv3=y

probably a few more configs related to those, as well.


live well,
