[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.

tristate "802.1d Ethernet Bridging"
|
||||
---help---
|
||||
If you say Y here, then your Linux box will be able to act as an
|
||||
Ethernet bridge, which means that the different Ethernet segments it
|
||||
is connected to will appear as one Ethernet to the participants.
|
||||
Several such bridges can work together to create even larger
|
||||
networks of Ethernets using the IEEE 802.1 spanning tree algorithm.
|
||||
As this is a standard, Linux bridges will cooperate properly with
|
||||
other third party bridge products.
|
||||
|
||||
In order to use the Ethernet bridge, you'll need the bridge
|
||||
configuration tools; see <file:Documentation/networking/bridge.txt>
|
||||
for location. Please read the Bridge mini-HOWTO for more
|
||||
information.
|
||||
|
||||
If you enable iptables support along with the bridge support then you
|
||||
turn your bridge into a bridging IP firewall.
|
||||
iptables will then see the IP packets being bridged, so you need to
|
||||
take this into account when setting up your firewall rules.
|
||||
Enabling arptables support when bridging will let arptables see
|
||||
bridged ARP traffic in the arptables FORWARD chain.
|
||||
|
||||
To compile this code as a module, choose M here: the module
|
||||
will be called bridge.
|
||||
|
||||
If unsure, say N.
