doubt about CONFIG_RTNETLINK option on kernel 2.4.18

[debian]

According description of iproute, the options CONFIG_NETLINK and 
CONFIG_RTNETLINK must be compiled in the running kernel. I have a kernel 
2.4.18 and on the config-2.4.18 I can see:
CONFIG_NETLINK_DEV=m 

but I can't see any line relative to CONFIG_RTNETLINK. I have downladed 
kernel-image-2.4.22-i386.deb, and here you can't see it either. 

Perhaps CONFIG_RTNETLINK is an option which has been addeed on 
CONFIG_NETLINK option on these kernels or something like this... 

I have a debian stable distro. 

Could you help me with this doubt? 

Thanks you very much in advance.
