Good day, Alan, all,

XXXXXXXXXX make xconfig failed. Please fix the problem and restart.

	Line 149 is

   dep_bool '  EISA, VLB, PCI and on board controllers' CONFIG_NET_PCI

	, which I think would normally have a dependancy after the symbol.
	The relevant part of the patch appears to be:

-   bool '  EISA, VLB, PCI and on board controllers' CONFIG_NET_PCI
+   dep_bool '  EISA, VLB, PCI and on board controllers' CONFIG_NET_PCI

	Cheers,
	- Bill
