19 Thanks. That fixed my problem. It seems that deleting stuff in "make
20 menuconfig" is 90% of the work in a kernel config. All etherenet
21 drivers are default enabled. What bugs me is that with every kernel
22 upgrade, "make oldconfig" shows a whole bunch of new ethernet drivers,
23 and they're all default enabled.
