there is only one Realtek 8029 Ethernet card in my
computer.below is the result of dmesg command:
# dmesg|grep Ethernet
ed0: <NE2000 PCI Ethernet (RealTek 8029)> port   
0xec00-0xec1f irq 11 at device 12.0 on pci0
and this is abstract from my kernel:
# PCI Ethernet NICs that use the common MII bus
controller code.
# NOTE: Be sure to keep the 'device miibus' line in
order to use these NICs!
device          miibus          # MII bus support
device          dc              # DEC/Intel 21143 and
various workalikes

# Pseudo devices - the number indicates how many units
to allocate.

tunneling
pseudo-device   faith   1       # IPv6-to-IPv4
relaying (translation)

# The `bpf' pseudo-device enables the Berkeley Packet
Filter.
# Be aware of the administrative consequences of
enabling this!
pseudo-device   bpf             #Berkeley packet
filter

now i want to delete those options have nothing to do
with my Ethernet.and i have learned that the "device
ed0" is necessary cause there was a qusion "would you
like to Bring up the ed0 interface right now?" in the
progress of system installing.i have tried to delete
some options of Ethernet serveral times,but
unfortunately,my computer can not boot.and i am sure
that the kernel i pasted above is correctly
configured.So,if you do know which options can be
deleted safety.tell me please.thank you very much!
wish everyone a happy day!
