	  The network device frontend driver allows the kernel to

	  access network devices exported exported by a virtual

	  machine containing a physical network device driver. The

	  frontend driver is intended for unprivileged guest domains;

	  if you are compiling a kernel for a Xen guest, you almost

	  certainly want to enable this.
