If I want to enable polling on my network interfaces. Do I need to make a kernel with that option in it, or is this enabled by default? (for 8.3/8/4/9.1/10.0 releases).
It's not enabled by default (on any version). Most people don't need it. Only in certain usage scenarios can it improve (networking) performance. See polling(4).
Re: ifconfig <device> polling - do I need to compile a kerne
Side note - if you are not bound by some kind of the embedded hardware, do yourself a favor and get a real network adapter. Then forget about polling and use adaptive interrupts mechanism.
