That's not really correct. It should be possible to build with devices but no
TCP/IP in an ideal world, say on an Appletalk only machine. That's a pretty
unlikely case though I grant you. What you should really do is have a top
level "Network device support" option and make those files depend on it.

Same there. This undoes all the work that was done to make the net core less
dependent on INET.
