[patch snipped]

Rats. I just noticed a build failure with the default configuration
because the kmod-ath9k package is missing the kmod-random-core
dependency when it's built with CONFIG_ATH9K_HWRNG. I hadn't noticed
it before because I compile my kernels with as many built-in modules
as possible. Will send a v2 shortly.

Cheers,
Rui
