I still prefer Networking to come before Device Drivers FWIW.
Just makes some kind of hierarchical sense to me.

Moved up as suggested.


I propose that the new file net/atm/Kconfig be sourced somewhere.

Thanks, I have missed that one - added just before wanrouter.
I'll look at it more to see if I have any other comments.

OK. I will await and post an updated patch if you do not beat me.

Sam,
Here are a few more suggestions for you to consider.

- in Networking support, move Network testing and Netpoll
support to the end of the menu (basically put the devel.
tools toward the bottom of the menu)

- I would rather not "hide" Amateur Radio, IrDA, and
Bluetooth in the Networking protocols area, but have them
near 802.1x and ATM in the top-level Networking support
menu.  How does that sound to you?

Thanks.
