Randy, this has been fixed in net-2.6 for some time now.

And I'm pretty sure I sent a copy of this to you when I
checked it in :-)

Subject: [PATCH 09/24] dsa: Fix Kconfig dependencies.

Based upon a report by Randy Dunlap.

DSA needs PHYLIB, but PHYLIB needs NET_ETHERNET.  So, in order
to select PHYLIB we have to make DSA depend upon NET_ETHERNET.
