[2.6 patch] document that 8139TOO supports 8129/8130

From: Adrian Bunk <hidden>
Date: 2005-05-13 04:04:50

The 8129/8130 support is a sub-option that is not visible if the user 
hasn't enabled the 8139 support.

Let's make it a bit easier for users to find the driver for their nic.

It wasn't easy to make a mistake in such a simple patch.  ;-)

Fixed patch below.
