Hmm... I notoriously read *every* option each time when I compile a
new kernel. It's just that the option you are refering to seems to be
ambigously frased (under "Code maturity level options" "Prompt for
development and/or incomplete code/drivers"). I never even thought it
would do what it did.

In any case, thanks a lot -- it did show the Realtek8139 driver in
config.
