[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.

8 | This is support for the Novell networking protocol, IPX, commonly | ||
9 | used for local networks of Windows machines. You need it if you | ||
10 | want to access Novell NetWare file or print servers using the Linux | ||
11 | Novell client ncpfs (available from | ||
12 | <ftp://platan.vc.cvut.cz/pub/linux/ncpfs/>) or from | ||
13 | within the Linux DOS emulator DOSEMU (read the DOSEMU-HOWTO, | ||
14 | available from <http://www.tldp.org/docs.html#howto>). In order | ||
15 | to do the former, you'll also have to say Y to "NCP file system | ||
16 | support", below. | ||
17 | |||
18 | IPX is similar in scope to IP, while SPX, which runs on top of IPX, | ||
19 | is similar to TCP. There is also experimental support for SPX in | ||
20 | Linux (see "SPX networking", below). | ||
21 | |||
22 | To turn your Linux box into a fully featured NetWare file server and | ||
23 | IPX router, say Y here and fetch either lwared from | ||
24 | <ftp://ibiblio.org/pub/Linux/system/network/daemons/> or | ||
25 | mars_nwe from <ftp://www.compu-art.de/mars_nwe/>. For more | ||
26 | information, read the IPX-HOWTO available from | ||
27 | <http://www.tldp.org/docs.html#howto>. | ||

29 | General information about how to connect Linux, Windows machines and | ||
30 | Macs is on the WWW at <http://www.eats.com/linux_mac_win.html>. | ||

32 | The IPX driver would enlarge your kernel by about 16 KB. To compile | ||
33 | this driver as a module, choose M here: the module will be called ipx. | ||
34 | Unless you want to integrate your Linux box with a local Novell | ||
35 | network, say N. | ||
