Enabling drivers from "Devices > Networking" (in menuconfig), for

is =n. Have CONFIG_NETDEVICES depend on CONFIG_NET.

This is the second time I've seen this change in the past few
days, and people seem to hit it quite readily with randconfig.

It seems reasonable and I'll apply it, thanks Jan.

While randconfig is nice and good, this error actually came by manually
tuning the .config for a specific goal (namely: make a small kernel for an
ancient i386 without modifying any code). Turning off CONFIG_NET
was then just an idea away, because I knew that TCP was quite big.
