Network configure options

This is a minor nit for the Config scripts.
My only network connection is to an ISP with a PCMCIA modem.
I use Linux because it gives me the greatest desktop environment.
To get PPP support I have to I have to answer yes to Configure Network
devices, which triggers a lot of (for me) irrelevant questions.
I think the following changes would simplify things and be more
appropriate since they do not involve any hardware selection options.

Move the following questions from drivers/net/Config.in
---------------------------------
tristate 'Dummy net driver support' CONFIG_DUMMY
tristate 'EQL (serial line load balancing) support' CONFIG_EQUALIZER

tristate 'PPP (point-to-point) support' CONFIG_PPP
if [ ! "$CONFIG_PPP" = "n" ]; then
comment 'CCP compressors for PPP are only built as modules.'
fi

tristate 'SLIP (serial line) support' CONFIG_SLIP
if [ "$CONFIG_SLIP" != "n" ]; then
bool ' CSLIP compressed headers' CONFIG_SLIP_COMPRESSED
bool ' Keepalive and linefill' CONFIG_SLIP_SMART
bool ' Six bit SLIP encapsulation' CONFIG_SLIP_MODE_SLIP6
fi
------------------------------------------------------
TO net/Config.in
Thanks
