[patch/RFC] networking menus

[Randy.Dunlap]

BenH mentioned last week that the networking menus need some help.
They are too twisted or confusing or something.

I was already looking into this.  Roman suggested s/config/menuconfig/,
which is helpful.

This is just a first pass/RFC.  It moves "Networking support" out of
the "Device Drivers" menu, which seems helpful to me.  However,
ISTM that it should really just be the "Networking options" here
and not include Amateur Radio, IrDA, and Bluetooth support.
I.e., I think that those latter 3 should fall under Device Drivers.
Does that make sense to anyone else?

Other comments?

Does this need to be discussed on netdev (also)?

Thanks,
