>Environment:
i486dx2-66 running NetBSD 1.3
System: NetBSD bigbird.boulder-creek.ca.us 1.3 NetBSD 1.3 (BIGBIRD) #3: Thu May 21 14:40:08 PDT 1998 robert@bigbird.boulder-creek.ca.us:/usr/src/sys/arch/i386/compile/BIGBIRD i386

>Description:
	If I include the line
		options 	ISO,TPIP	# OSI
	in my kernel configuration and I don't configure any ethernet
	devices, I get undefined symbols at kernel link time. I should
	be able to use the ISO and TPIP options with only ppp
	configured. I do not have an ethernet interface on my
	machine.
>How-To-Repeat:
	Configure an i386 kernel as described above
	(i.e., with "options ISO,TPIP", with at least one ppp
	pseudo-device configured, and without any ethernet card
	configured. Notice that the kernel link fails.
>Fix:
	Fix the config setup so the dependences are really
	right. Unfortunately I haven't taken the time to learn how to
	do this myself. My workaround was to configure ep0, even
	though I have no such device on my machine.
