Grrr, I did not see or find any reason for FDDI, ARCNET, Tokenring or
PPP to loaded as a module.  That was the reason for the change, sorry.

I was seeing the Group Heading for these technologies as just that,
headers (like Ethernet).  I will revert that change.

I will also fix up the new Kconfig options like I did for the new
Ethernet Kconfig options.  (default y).
