[-- Attachment #1.1: Type: text/plain, Size: 503 bytes --]

I came across some ambiguity and some obvious typos in a few of the
Kconfig files, and a patch is attached. There's more to come, as I
stumble upon a few I will correct them.

Also, I corrected occurences of '.o' by removing the suffix. It
shouldn't matter to users who use modprobe -- people using insmod will
know that modules end in .ko in 2.5 kernels. (I suppose this is
debateable. Comments?)

The patch against 2.5.66 is attached.

Regards
Josh
