[PATCH] net: don't allow INET to be not configured

[Stephen Hemminger <shemminger@vyatta.com>]

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

-	  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

-
-	  Short answer: say Y.
