5 config NET_VENDOR_INTEL
9 If you have a network (Ethernet) card belonging to this class, say Y.
11 Note that the answer to this question doesn't directly affect the
12 kernel: saying N will just cause the configurator to skip all
13 the questions about Intel cards. If you say Y, you will be asked for
14 your specific card in the following questions.
