[PATCH] 2.5.4, add 8 help texts to drivers/net/Config.help

[Steven Cole]

The drivers/net/Config.in file contains 11 options which do not have any 
help text in drivers/net/Config.help (or anywhere else).

The following patch provides help texts for the 8 of those 11 marked by
asterisks in the list below. I inserted the help texts in Config.help 
in the same order that the option appears in Config.in.

   CONFIG_8139_NEW_RX_RESET
*  CONFIG_DE2104X
*  CONFIG_LASI_82596
*  CONFIG_LP486E
*  CONFIG_MIPS_AU1000_ENET
   CONFIG_NE2K_ZORRO
*  CONFIG_PPPOATM
*  CONFIG_TULIP_MMIO
*  CONFIG_TULIP_MWI
   CONFIG_VETH
*  CONFIG_VIA_RHINE_MMIO
