Early on this was an experimental facility that few people other than Alexey Kuznetsov played with. Now it's a pretty fundamental thing and as people add more features to AF_PACKET sockets this config options creates ifdef spaghetti. So kill it off. Signed-off-by: David S.

tristate "Packet socket"
|
|
---help---
|
|
The Packet protocol is used by applications which communicate
|
|
directly with network devices without an intermediate network
|
|
protocol implemented in the kernel, e.g. tcpdump. If you want them
|
|
to work, choose Y.
|
|
|
|
To compile this driver as a module, choose M here: the module will
|
|
be called af_packet.
|
|
|
|
If unsure, say Y.
