well i thought i'd help out the newbies by translating
"kernel config" to an actual file name or program name, but i
ran into the wall again--

i tried modconf, but under ipv4 drivers i only saw
ip_gre + IP: GRE tunnels over IP
ip_masq_autofw - IP: ipautofw masquerade support (Experimental)
ip_masq_cuseeme - (No description available)
ip_masq_ftp + (No description available)
ip_masq_irc - (No description available)
ip_masq_mfw - IP: ipmarkfw masquerade support
ip_masq_portfw - IP: ipportfw masquerade support
ip_masq_quake - (No description available)
ip_masq_raudio - (No description available)
ip_masq_user + (No description available)
ip_masq_vdolive - (No description available)
ipip - IP: tunneling
rarp - Reverse ARP server
similar in function or name, but not quite what the doctor
ordered, eh?
aha! there's a text file /boot/config-`uname -r` (i.e. your
kernel version will be appended to the name of the config file)
that will show what options are set in the current kernel you're
running: so, just
grep ICMP /boot/config-`uname -r`
to find what options are set for ICMP. in my kernel config,
there was only one line.
there y'are!
