The option is CONFIG_FILTER, which in menuconfig is something like
socket filtering.  On my (sid) system, that information can be found in
/usr/share/doc/dhcp3-client/README.Debian.  I'm sure that on Woody,
there's a similar file.

BTW, when compiling your kernel, it's generally a good idea to start off
with the configuration that's found in /boot/config-<old kernel version>.
Then just turn off any options that you know for sure you don't need,
and turn on options that you know you need.
