CONFIG_NETWORK_FILESYSTEMS not set in /proc/config.gz

hello list,

I usually switch to a new kernel version using the
old .config file by doing:

# zcat /proc/config.gz > .config
# make oldconfig

however, with the last two (or so) versions, I always lost the network
file system configuration. It's not present in config.gz,
while in the old .config of the previous release, it _is_
present, plus I'm abble to use network file system support
in the current (before the update) kernel.

e.g.:

(1) kernel version:
# uname -r
2.6.25.9

(2) this kernel version's configuration in the sources:
# grep NETWORK_FILE linux-2.6.25.9/.config
CONFIG_NETWORK_FILESYSTEMS=y

(3) this kernel version's configuration in /proc/config.gz
# zcat /proc/config.gz | grep NETWORK_FILE
# CONFIG_NETWORK_FILESYSTEMS is not set

(4) to proof this kernel version has indeed network filesystem:
# lsmod| grep nfs
nfs 86896 1
lockd 38280 2 nfs
nfs_acl 1792 1 nfs
sunrpc 101884 10 nfs,lockd,nfs_acl


to me, this looks like "CONFIG_NETWORK_FILESYSTEMS" is "forgotten" in
config.gz, but what do I know ...

please fix if possible,
thanks,
h. rosmanith
