Hi,
It seems that these entries are out-of-date;
"bk annotate" tells these lines are very old.
Please ensure if it is correct.

----------------
-
-The IP firewalling and NAT code has been replaced again. The new
-netfilter software (including ipfwadm and ipchains backwards-

-The PPP driver has been restructured to support multilink and to

-upgrade pppd to at least 2.4.0.

-If you are not using devfs, you must have the device file /dev/ppp
-which can be made by:
-
-mknod /dev/ppp c 108 0
-
-as root.

-If you build ppp support as modules, you will need the following in
-your /etc/modules.conf file:
-
-alias char-major-108 ppp_generic
-alias /dev/ppp ppp_generic
-alias tty-ldisc-3 ppp_async
-alias tty-ldisc-14 ppp_synctty
-alias ppp-compress-21 bsd_comp

Well, just removing all references to iproute2 would not
be correct, we should mention the current location one
can obtain the latest iproute2 sources from.
Actually, all of these random changes are beginning to become cleanup
in nature and therefore not the kind of changes Linus wants going into
the tree right now.
Can you make these Kconfig and documentation fixes at some later time?
Thank you.

Well, will we have a chance for doing this before 2.6.0?
I believe document errors should be corrected before 2.6.0
because it makes people "oops" :-)

I also think these kinds of changes should go in, but Linus disagrees
and he is the boss :-)
Please just collect them and resubmit after 2.6.0-final.
Thank you.

Hi Yoshifuji!
Please consider the following update for netfilter/iptables, instead of
removing any reference to it.
