Unless you really know what you are doing, you should say Y here.
The reason is that some programs need kernel networking support even
recommended to read the NET-HOWTO, available from

- You can say Y here if you want to get additional messages useful in
- debugging bad packets, but can overwhelm logs under denial of service
- attacks.
+ This option makes it possible to send different netlink messages
+ to tasks depending on whether the task is a compat task or not. To
+ achieve this, you need to set skb_shinfo(skb)->frag_list to the
+ compat skb before sending the skb, the netlink code will sort out
+ which message to actually pass to the task.
+
+ Newly written code should NEVER need this option but do
+ compat-independent messages instead!

These are the protocols used on the Internet and on most local
Ethernets. It is highly recommended to say Y here (this will enlarge
- your kernel by about 144 KB), since some programs (e.g. the X window
+ your kernel by about 400 KB), since some programs (e.g. the X window
system) use TCP/IP even if your machine is not connected to any
other computer. You will get the so-called loopback device which
allows you to ping yourself (great fun, that!).

Netfilter is a framework for filtering and mangling network packets

- will run as a router and N for regular hosts. If unsure, say N.

- bool "Frame Diverter (EXPERIMENTAL)"

- ---help---
- The Frame Diverter allows you to divert packets from the
- network, that are not aimed at the interface receiving it (in
- promisc. mode). Typically, a Linux box setup as an Ethernet bridge
- with the Frames Diverter on, can do some *really* transparent www
- caching using a Squid proxy for example.
-
- This is very useful when you don't want to change your router's
- config (or if you simply don't have access to it).
-
- The other possible usages of diverting Ethernet Frames are
- numberous:
- - reroute smtp traffic to another interface
- - traffic-shape certain network streams
- - transparently proxy smtp connections
- - etc...
-
