[PATCH 2.6.11-rc3 4/5] bonding: Update kconfig description
From: Jay Vosburgh <hidden>
Date: 2005-02-11 09:17:42
This patch updates the very-outdated Kconfig description for bonding. Users reading the help text in menuconfig or xconfig would see text that implied that bonding only supports static link aggregation, and required a specific switch to make it work. The new description mentions multiple bonding modes and points the user to the bonding.txt documentation.
