Subject[PATCH] net: don't allow INET to be not configured
There is no reason to expose turning off TCP/IP networking.
If networking is enabled force TCP/IP to enabled. This also
eliminates the time chasing down errors with bogus configurations
generated by 'make randconfig'

For testing, it is still possible to edit Kconfig

- These are the protocols used on the Internet and on most local
- Ethernets. It is highly recommended to say Y here (this will enlarge
- your kernel by about 400 KB), since some programs (e.g. the X window
- system) use TCP/IP even if your machine is not connected to any
- other computer. You will get the so-called loopback device which
- allows you to ping yourself (great fun, that!).

- For an excellent introduction to Linux networking, please read the
- Linux Networking HOWTO, available from
- <http://www.tldp.org/docs.html#howto>.
-
- If you say Y here and also to "/proc file system support" and
- "Sysctl support" below, you can change various aspects of the
- behavior of the TCP/IP code by writing to the (virtual) files in
- /proc/sys/net/ipv4/*; the options are explained in the file
- <file:Documentation/networking/ip-sysctl.txt>.
-
- Short answer: say Y.
