Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history, even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about 3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good infrastructure for it. Let it rip!

+ bool "Network device support"
+ ---help---
+ You can say N here if you don't intend to connect your Linux box to
+ any other computer at all.
+
+ You'll have to say Y if your computer contains a network card that
+ you want to use under Linux. If you are going to run SLIP or PPP over
+ telephone line or null modem cable you need say Y here. Connecting
+ two machines with parallel ports using PLIP needs this, as well as
+ AX.25/KISS for sending Internet traffic over amateur radio links.
+
+ See also "The Linux Network Administrator's Guide" by Olaf Kirch and
+ Terry Dawson. Available at <http://www.tldp.org/guides.html>.
+
+ If unsure, say Y.
+
+config DUMMY
+ tristate "Dummy net driver support"
+ depends on NETDEVICES
+ ---help---
+ This is essentially a bit-bucket device (i.e. traffic you send to
+ this device is consigned into oblivion) with a configurable IP
+ address. It is most commonly used in order to make your currently
+ inactive SLIP address seem like a real address for local programs.
+ If you use SLIP or PPP, you might want to say Y here. Since this
+ thing often comes in handy, the default is Y. It won't enlarge your
+ kernel either. What a deal. Read about it in the Network
+ Administrator's Guide, available from
+ <http://www.tldp.org/docs.html#guide>.
+
+ To compile this driver as a module, choose M here: the module
+ will be called dummy. If you want to use more than one dummy
+ device at a time, you need to compile this driver as a module.
+ Instead of 'dummy', the devices will then be called 'dummy0',
+ 'dummy1' etc.
+
+config BONDING
+ tristate "Bonding driver support"
+ depends on NETDEVICES
+ depends on INET
+ ---help---
+ Say 'Y' or 'M' if you wish to be able to 'bond' multiple Ethernet
+ Channels together. This is called 'Etherchannel' by Cisco,
+ 'Trunking' by Sun, 802.3ad by the IEEE, and 'Bonding' in Linux.
+
+ The driver supports multiple bonding modes to allow for both high
+ perfomance and high availability operation.
+
+ Refer to <file:Documentation/networking/bonding.txt> for more
+ information.
+
+ To compile this driver as a module, choose M here: the module
+ will be called bonding.
+
+config EQUALIZER
+ tristate "EQL (serial line load balancing) support"
+ depends on NETDEVICES
+ ---help---
+ If you have two serial connections to some other computer (this
+ usually requires two modems and two telephone lines) and you use
+ SLIP (the protocol for sending Internet traffic over telephone
+ lines) or PPP (a better SLIP) on them, you can make them behave like
+ one double speed connection using this driver. Naturally, this has
+ to be supported at the other end as well, either with a similar EQL
+ Linux driver or with a Livingston Portmaster 2e.
+
+ Say Y if you want this and read
+ <file:Documentation/networking/eql.txt>. You may also want to read
+ section 6.2 of the NET-3-HOWTO, available from
+ <http://www.tldp.org/docs.html#howto>.

+ TUN/TAP provides packet reception and transmission for user space
+ programs. It can be viewed as a simple Point-to-Point or Ethernet
+ device, which instead of receiving packets from a physical media,
+ receives them from user space program and instead of sending packets
+ via physical media writes them to the user space program.
+
+ When a program opens /dev/net/tun, driver creates and registers
+ corresponding net device tunX or tapX. After a program closed above
+ devices, driver will automatically delete tunXX or tapXX device and
+ all routes corresponding to it.
+
+ Please read <file:Documentation/networking/tuntap.txt> for more
+ information.
+
+ To compile this driver as a module, choose M here: the module
+ will be called tun.
+
+ If you don't know what to use this for, you don't need it.

+ depends on NETDEVICES && PNP
+ ---help---
+ This is a driver for the General Instrument (also known as
+ NextLevel) SURFboard 1000 internal
+ cable modem. This is an ISA card which is used by a number of cable
+ TV companies to provide cable modem access. It's a one-way
+ downstream-only cable modem, meaning that your upstream net link is
+ provided by your regular phone modem.
+
+ At present this driver only compiles as a module, so say M here if
+ you have this card. The module will be called sb1000. Then read
+ <file:Documentation/networking/README.sb1000> for information on how
+ to use this module, as it needs special ppp scripts for establishing
+ a connection. Further documentation and the necessary scripts can be
+ found at:

+ Ethernet (also called IEEE 802.3 or ISO 8802-2) is the most common
+ type of Local Area Network (LAN) in universities and companies.
+
+ Common varieties of Ethernet are: 10BASE-2 or Thinnet (10 Mbps over

+ [the 100BASE varieties are also known as Fast Ethernet], and Gigabit
+ Ethernet (1 Gbps over optical fiber or short copper links).

+ an Ethernet network interface card (NIC) installed in your computer,
+ say Y here and read the Ethernet-HOWTO, available from
