ArcNet is old. Almost nobody is using it anymore. I used it at my former
job, since we used it as control network. A lot of companies still does
quitely, but not in combination with Linux.
Use menuconfigs instead of menus, so the whole menu can be disabled at
once instead of going through all options.

Why does it depend on ISA || PCI ? People tend to forget the PCMCIA
driver. And in principle you could enable the ArcNet framework without
using any of the drivers in the kernel tree.
