Definitely a good idea.

Further suggestions:
- Introduce sub menus on separate pages for TCP/IP, DECNet, ATM, ... i.e. like it is done for SCTP.
- Separate things into top categories Socket Families (maybe separate page) - PF_PACKET - PF_UNIX - PF_KEY Protocols (separate page) - TCP/IP networking (separate page) - IPv6 (affecting choices below) - Privary extensions - multicasting - routing - advanced router - policy routing - use nfmark with chaching support - multipath routing - cached - rrd - random - ... - multicast routing - pim v1 - pim v2 - verbose route monitoring - auto configuration - dhcp - boop - rarp - tunneling - IPv4 - IPIP - GRE - broadcast - IPv6 - IPv6oIPv6 - transformations - IPv4 - AH - ESP - IPComp - IPv6 - AH - ESP - IPComp - ARP daemon - TCP - Diagnostics - Syn Cookies - SCTP - ATM - 802.1d - 802.1q - DECnet - 802.2 LLC - IPX - Appletalk - X.25 - LAPB - Econet <<Good title here>> - Netfilter - IPsec - LVS - Frame Diverter - QoS & Fair Queueing - Network testing - WAN Router
