++Allow Net Devices to contribute to /dev/random
++CONFIG_NET_RANDOM
++ If you say Y here, network device interrupts will contribute to the
++ kernel entropy pool. Normally, block devices and some other devices
++ feed the pool. Some systems, such as those that are headless or diskless,
++ need additional entropy sources. Some people, however, feel that network
++ devices should not contribute to /dev/random because an external attacker
++ could observe incoming packets in an attempt to learn the entropy pool's
++ state. If you say N, no network device will contribute entropy.
++
++ If you believe there is a chance of your network packets being observed
++ and you doubt the security of the entropy pool's one-way hash, do not
++ enable this. If unsure, say N.
