Dear Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD,

+And to control whether your driver is even enabled, you should use:

In my proposition CONFIG_SYS_ will be not use for driver enabling but for hardware specific information
Enabling or disabling a driver i ssomething that a dumb user can do, so it should be done using
CONFIG_<DRIVERNAME>
as in CONFIG_E1000, CONFIG_EEPRO100, etc.
Fine with me, although I understand the argument that it doesn't convey enough information, especially when dealing with devices that are more obscure than Intel E1000. CONFIG_SYS_APE is definitely wrong, I think CONFIG_NET_APE should be for networking features such as selectable protocols. Maybe a compromise if one is needed would be CONFIG_NETDEV_APE ? Or is it too verbose?
