In menuconfig, use the '?' option for help - it tells you about the
option and in the heading it tells you the name, e.g.in 2.6.20 the
first item under 'Core Netfilter Configuration' gives me
┌──────────────────────────────── Netfilter netlink interface
│ CONFIG_NETFILTER_NETLINK:
│
│ If this option is enabled, the kernel will include support

│ Symbol: NETFILTER_NETLINK [=n]
Don't let the shortened 'Symbol' name mislead you. If you aren't
sure if you need this, enable the option to see if it opens up more
options (which this one does), you can always disable it again if
you decide you don't need any of them.
Manually editting .config is usually best left to kernel hackers
and testers - it can be very tedious.
