PATCH 1/1 2.6 Remove CONFIG_DECNET_SIOCGIFCONF
This patch removes the config option DECNET_SIOCGIFCONF in Linux 2.6
It's only purpose seems to be to break ifconfig. It often gets enabled by default by distributors who like to set everything on, and it just confuses people.
The functionality is available via netlink anyway - which is what anyone using DECnet will be using for configuration.
