[NET]: Update networking config menu (v3) 

Networking support/options and Networking drivers have been, uhm,
messy to navigate for some time now.   BenH mentioned this
and I was already looking into options to clean it up.

This is a cleanup of Networking support/options and Networking Drivers.
It presents a more consistent interface and lists similar driver
groups and protocol groups closer together.
It also moves the IBMVETH driver so that it no longer breaks the
dependency tree, allowing other drivers (nearby in Kconfig file)
to be presented in a more linear manner.

config DECNET
tristate "DECnet Support"
---help---
The DECnet networking protocol was used in many products made by
Digital (now Compaq). It provides reliable stream and sequenced
packet communications over which run a variety of services similar
to those which run over TCP/IP.
To find some tools to use with the kernel layer support, please
look at Patrick Caulfield's web site:
<http://linux-decnet.sourceforge.net/>.
More detailed documentation is available in
<file:Documentation/networking/decnet.txt>.
Be sure to say Y to "/proc file system support" and "Sysctl support"
below when using DECnet, since you will need sysctl support to aid
in configuration at run time.
The DECnet code is also available as a module ( = code which can be
inserted in and removed from the running kernel whenever you want).
The module is called decnet.

config BRIDGE
tristate "802.1d Ethernet Bridging"
---help---
If you say Y here, then your Linux box will be able to act as an
Ethernet bridge, which means that the different Ethernet segments it
is connected to will appear as one Ethernet to the participants.
Several such bridges can work together to create even larger
networks of Ethernets using the IEEE 802.1 spanning tree algorithm.
As this is a standard, Linux bridges will cooperate properly with
other third party bridge products.
In order to use the Ethernet bridge, you'll need the bridge
configuration tools; see <file:Documentation/networking/bridge.txt>
for location. Please read the Bridge mini-HOWTO for more
information.
If you enable iptables support along with the bridge support then you
turn your bridge into a bridging IP firewall.
iptables will then see the IP packets being bridged, so you need to
take this into account when setting up your firewall rules.
Enabling arptables support when bridging will let arptables see
bridged ARP traffic in the arptables FORWARD chain.
To compile this code as a module, choose M here: the module
will be called bridge.
If unsure, say N.
