From 6a2e9b738cb5c929df73b6acabdd8f9a4e9a0416 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Sam Ravnborg Date: Mon, 11 Jul 2005 21:13:56 -0700 Subject: [NET]: move config options out to individual protocols Move the protocol specific config options out to the specific protocols. With this change net/Kconfig now starts to become readable and serve as a good basis for further re-structuring. The menu structure is left almost intact, except that indention is fixed in most cases. Most visible are the INET changes where several "depends on INET" are replaced with a single ifdef INET / endif pair. Several new files were created to accomplish this change - they are small but serve the purpose that config options are now distributed out where they belongs.
