Miller" , Jeff Garzik Subject: [PATCH] 2.5.4, add 8 help texts to drivers/net/Config.help Date: Wed, 13 Feb 2002 13:38:50 -0700 X-Mailer: KMail [version 1.3.1] Cc: Linus Torvalds , linux-kernel@vger.kernel.org MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7BIT Sender: linux-kernel-owner@vger.kernel.org X-Mailing-List: linux-kernel@vger.kernel.org The drivers/net/Config.in file contains 11 options which do not have any help text in drivers/net/Config.help (or anywhere else). The following patch provides help texts for the 8 of those 11 marked by asterisks in the list below. I inserted the help texts in Config.help in the same order that the option appears in Config.in.
