No. They select _different things_.  One is turned on if an atm device
is configured (c.f. the arp attribute). The other enables a native ATM
networking stack via /sys/netatm, which is selected via "options NATM".

Check sys/conf/files: it has dependencies on both atm and natm.  I'm
suggesting we eliminate the conflict by dropping "needs-flag" on atm,
since atm.h doens't seem to be used anywhere.  (options NATM would
then be defopt'ed, as for other network-stack options.)
