Fine with me, although I understand the argument that it doesn't convey 
enough information, especially when dealing with devices that are more 
obscure than Intel E1000.  CONFIG_SYS_APE is definitely wrong, I think 
CONFIG_NET_APE should be for networking features such as selectable 
protocols.  Maybe a compromise if one is needed would be 
CONFIG_NETDEV_APE ?  Or is it too verbose?
