Compile kernel without network
What would I need to disable, if I wanted to create a kernel with no networking capabilities at all?
More specifically, I would like to disable ethernet, wlan and bluetooth.
I've tried looking around the web, but it seems that this is not something a lot of people are doing.
My kernel is going to be used on a live-system and I want to make sure that it's as hard as possible to transfer files from this system to other media (not counting via USB).

Re: Compile kernel without network
You can use iptables for that. Disabling networking completely at the kernel level may have some unwanted issues. As a side note it is not that hard to disable networking at kernel level. Just start with new config file and check the only options you want. There is a whole section in the kernel about networking. Or just dont compile any drivers/modules relalted to ethernet, wlan at all.
IMHO it is a time consuming task and not worth the effort.
