8 bool "Network device support"
10 You can say N here if you don't intend to connect your Linux box to
11 any other computer at all.
13 You'll have to say Y if your computer contains a network card that
14 you want to use under Linux. If you are going to run SLIP or PPP over
15 telephone line or null modem cable you need say Y here. Connecting
16 two machines with parallel ports using PLIP needs this, as well as
17 AX.25/KISS for sending Internet traffic over amateur radio links.

29 bool "Netdevice multiple hardware queue support"
31 Say Y here if you want to allow the network stack to use multiple
32 hardware TX queues on an ethernet device.
34 Most people will say N here.
37 tristate "Intermediate Functional Block support"
38 depends on NET_CLS_ACT
40 This is an intermediate driver that allows sharing of
42 To compile this driver as a module, choose M here: the module
43 will be called ifb. If you want to use more than one ifb
44 device at a time, you need to compile this driver as a module.
45 Instead of 'ifb', the devices will then be called 'ifb0',
47 Look at the iproute2 documentation directory for usage etc
50 tristate "Dummy net driver support"
52 This is essentially a bit-bucket device (i.e. traffic you send to
53 this device is consigned into oblivion) with a configurable IP
54 address. It is most commonly used in order to make your currently
55 inactive SLIP address seem like a real address for local programs.
56 If you use SLIP or PPP, you might want to say Y here. Since this
57 thing often comes in handy, the default is Y. It won't enlarge your
58 kernel either. What a deal. Read about it in the Network
59 Administrator's Guide, available from
60 <http://www.tldp.org/docs.html#guide>.
62 To compile this driver as a module, choose M here: the module
63 will be called dummy. If you want to use more than one dummy
64 device at a time, you need to compile this driver as a module.
65 Instead of 'dummy', the devices will then be called 'dummy0',
69 tristate "Bonding driver support"
72 Say 'Y' or 'M' if you wish to be able to 'bond' multiple Ethernet
73 Channels together. This is called 'Etherchannel' by Cisco,
74 'Trunking' by Sun, 802.3ad by the IEEE, and 'Bonding' in Linux.
76 The driver supports multiple bonding modes to allow for both high
77 performance and high availability operation.
79 Refer to <file:Documentation/networking/bonding.txt> for more
82 To compile this driver as a module, choose M here: the module
83 will be called bonding.

90 or from specific MAC addresses to a particular interface.
92 To compile this driver as a module, choose M here: the module
93 will be called macvlan.
96 tristate "EQL (serial line load balancing) support"
98 If you have two serial connections to some other computer (this
99 usually requires two modems and two telephone lines) and you use
100 SLIP (the protocol for sending Internet traffic over telephone
101 lines) or PPP (a better SLIP) on them, you can make them behave like
102 one double speed connection using this driver. Naturally, this has
103 to be supported at the other end as well, either with a similar EQL
104 Linux driver or with a Livingston Portmaster 2e.
106 Say Y if you want this and read
107 <file:Documentation/networking/eql.txt>. You may also want to read
108 section 6.2 of the NET-3-HOWTO, available from

112 will be called eql. If unsure, say N.
115 tristate "Universal TUN/TAP device driver support"
118 TUN/TAP provides packet reception and transmission for user space
119 programs. It can be viewed as a simple Point-to-Point or Ethernet
120 device, which instead of receiving packets from a physical media,
121 receives them from user space program and instead of sending packets
122 via physical media writes them to the user space program.
124 When a program opens /dev/net/tun, driver creates and registers
125 corresponding net device tunX or tapX. After a program closed above
126 devices, driver will automatically delete tunXX or tapXX device and
127 all routes corresponding to it.
129 Please read <file:Documentation/networking/tuntap.txt> for more
132 To compile this driver as a module, choose M here: the module
135 If you don't know what to use this for, you don't need it.

141 This is a driver for the General Instrument (also known as
142 NextLevel) SURFboard 1000 internal
143 cable modem. This is an ISA card which is used by a number of cable
144 TV companies to provide cable modem access. It's a one-way
145 downstream-only cable modem, meaning that your upstream net link is
146 provided by your regular phone modem.
148 At present this driver only compiles as a module, so say M here if
149 you have this card. The module will be called sb1000. Then read
150 <file:Documentation/networking/README.sb1000> for information on how
151 to use this module, as it needs special ppp scripts for establishing
152 a connection. Further documentation and the necessary scripts can be

170 bool "Ethernet (10 or 100Mbit)"
173 Ethernet (also called IEEE 802.3 or ISO 8802-2) is the most common
174 type of Local Area Network (LAN) in universities and companies.
176 Common varieties of Ethernet are: 10BASE-2 or Thinnet (10 Mbps over
177 coaxial cable, linking computers in a chain), 10BASE-T or twisted
178 pair (10 Mbps over twisted pair cable, linking computers to central
179 hubs), 10BASE-F (10 Mbps over optical fiber links, using hubs),
180 100BASE-TX (100 Mbps over two twisted pair cables, using hubs),
181 100BASE-T4 (100 Mbps over 4 standard voice-grade twisted pair
182 cables, using hubs), 100BASE-FX (100 Mbps over optical fiber links)
183 [the 100BASE varieties are also known as Fast Ethernet], and Gigabit
184 Ethernet (1 Gbps over optical fiber or short copper links).
186 If your Linux machine will be connected to an Ethernet and you have
187 an Ethernet network interface card (NIC) installed in your computer,
188 say Y here and read the Ethernet-HOWTO, available from
189 <http://www.tldp.org/docs.html#howto>. You will then also have
190 to say Y to the driver for your particular NIC.

245 instead of an 8-pin RJ45 connector for twisted-pair ethernet. Say
246 Y here if you have such a machine. If unsure, say N.
247 The driver will default to AAUI on ANS anyway, and if you use it as
248 a module, you can provide the port_aaui=0|1 to force the driver.

2568 design; essentially a replacement for high speed Ethernet. FDDI can
2569 run over copper or fiber. If you are connected to such a network and

2571 then also Y to the driver for your FDDI card, below). Most people
2575 tristate "Digital DEFTA/DEFEA/DEFPA adapter support"
2576 depends on FDDI && (PCI || EISA || TC)
2578 This is support for the DIGITAL series of TURBOchannel (DEFTA),
2579 EISA (DEFEA) and PCI (DEFPA) controllers which can connect you
2580 to a local FDDI network.
2582 To compile this driver as a module, choose M here: the module

2592 This instructs the driver to use EISA or PCI memory-mapped I/O
2593 (MMIO) as appropriate instead of programmed I/O ports (PIO).
2594 Enabling this gives an improvement in processing time in parts
2595 of the driver, but it may cause problems with EISA (DEFEA)
2596 adapters. TURBOchannel does not have the concept of I/O ports,
2597 so MMIO is always used for these (DEFTA) adapters.

2639 can run over copper (25m) or fiber (300m on multi-mode or 10km on
2640 single-mode). HIPPI networks are commonly used for clusters and to
2641 connect to super computers. If you are connected to a HIPPI network
2642 and have a HIPPI network card in your computer that you want to use
2643 under Linux, say Y here (you must also remember to enable the driver

2666 tristate "PLIP (parallel port) support"
2669 PLIP (Parallel Line Internet Protocol) is used to create a
2670 reasonably fast mini network consisting of two (or, rarely, more)
2671 local machines. A PLIP link from a Linux box is a popular means to
2672 install a Linux distribution on a machine which doesn't have a
2673 CD-ROM drive (a minimal system has to be transferred with floppies
2674 first). The kernels on both machines need to have this PLIP option
2675 enabled for this to work.
2677 The PLIP driver has two modes, mode 0 and mode 1. The parallel
2678 ports (the connectors at the computers with 25 holes) are connected
2679 with "null printer" or "Turbo Laplink" cables which can transmit 4
2680 bits at a time (mode 0) or with special PLIP cables, to be used on
2681 bidirectional parallel ports only, which can transmit 8 bits at a
2682 time (mode 1); you can find the wiring of these cables in
2683 <file:Documentation/networking/PLIP.txt>. The cables can be up to
2684 15m long. Mode 0 works also if one of the machines runs DOS/Windows
2685 and has some PLIP software installed, e.g. the Crynwr PLIP packet
2686 driver (<http://oak.oakland.edu/simtel.net/msdos/pktdrvr-pre.html>)
2687 and winsock or NCSA's telnet.
2689 If you want to use PLIP, say Y and read the PLIP mini-HOWTO as well
2690 as the NET-3-HOWTO, both available from
2691 <http://www.tldp.org/docs.html#howto>. Note that the PLIP
2692 protocol has been changed and this PLIP driver won't work together
2693 with the PLIP support in Linux versions 1.0.x. This option enlarges
2694 your kernel by about 8 KB.
2696 To compile this driver as a module, choose M here and read
2697 <file:Documentation/networking/net-modules.txt>. The module will be
2698 called plip. If unsure, say Y or M, in case you buy a laptop
2702 tristate "PPP (point-to-point protocol) support"
2705 PPP (Point to Point Protocol) is a newer and better SLIP. It serves
2706 the same purpose: sending Internet traffic over telephone (and other
2707 serial) lines. Ask your access provider if they support it, because
2708 otherwise you can't use it; most Internet access providers these
2709 days support PPP rather than SLIP.
2711 To use PPP, you need an additional program called pppd as described
2712 in the PPP-HOWTO, available at
2713 <http://www.tldp.org/docs.html#howto>. Make sure that you have
2714 the version of pppd recommended in <file:Documentation/Changes>.
2715 The PPP option enlarges your kernel by about 16 KB.
2717 There are actually two versions of PPP: the traditional PPP for
2718 asynchronous lines, such as regular analog phone lines, and
2719 synchronous PPP which can be used over digital ISDN lines for
2720 example. If you want to use PPP over phone lines or other
2721 asynchronous serial lines, you need to say Y (or M) here and also to
2722 the next option, "PPP support for async serial ports". For PPP over
2723 synchronous lines, you should say Y (or M) here and to "Support
2724 synchronous PPP", below.
2726 If you said Y to "Version information on all symbols" above, then
2727 you cannot compile the PPP driver into the kernel; you can then only
2728 compile it as a module. To compile this driver as a module, choose M
2729 here and read <file:Documentation/networking/net-modules.txt>.
2730 The module will be called ppp_generic.
2732 config PPP_MULTILINK
2733 bool "PPP multilink support (EXPERIMENTAL)"
2734 depends on PPP && EXPERIMENTAL
2736 PPP multilink is a protocol (defined in RFC 1990) which allows you
2737 to combine several (logical or physical) lines into one logical PPP
2738 connection, so that you can utilize your full bandwidth.
2740 This has to be supported at the other end as well and you need a
2741 version of the pppd daemon which understands the multilink protocol.
2746 bool "PPP filtering"
2749 Say Y here if you want to be able to filter the packets passing over
2750 PPP interfaces. This allows you to control which packets count as
2751 activity (i.e. which packets will reset the idle timer or bring up
2752 a demand-dialed link) and which packets are to be dropped entirely.
2753 You need to say Y here if you wish to use the pass-filter and
2754 active-filter options to pppd.
2759 tristate "PPP support for async serial ports"
2763 Say Y (or M) here if you want to be able to use PPP over standard
2764 asynchronous serial ports, such as COM1 or COM2 on a PC. If you use

2768 To compile this driver as a module, choose M here.
2773 tristate "PPP support for sync tty ports"
2776 Say Y (or M) here if you want to be able to use PPP over synchronous
2777 (HDLC) tty devices, such as the SyncLink adapter. These devices
2778 are often used for high-speed leased lines like T1/E1.
2780 To compile this driver as a module, choose M here.
2783 tristate "PPP Deflate compression"
2788 Support for the Deflate compression method for PPP, which uses the
2789 Deflate algorithm (the same algorithm that gzip uses) to compress
2790 each PPP packet before it is sent over the wire. The machine at the
2791 other end of the PPP link (usually your ISP) has to support the
2792 Deflate compression method as well for this to be useful. Even if
2793 they don't support it, it is safe to say Y here.
2795 To compile this driver as a module, choose M here.
2798 tristate "PPP BSD-Compress compression"
2801 Support for the BSD-Compress compression method for PPP, which uses
2802 the LZW compression method to compress each PPP packet before it is
2803 sent over the wire. The machine at the other end of the PPP link
2804 (usually your ISP) has to support the BSD-Compress compression
2805 method as well for this to be useful. Even if they don't support it,
2806 it is safe to say Y here.
2808 The PPP Deflate compression method ("PPP Deflate compression",
2809 above) is preferable to BSD-Compress, because it compresses better
2812 Note that the BSD compression code will always be compiled as a
2813 module; it is called bsd_comp and will show up in the directory
2814 modules once you have said "make modules". If unsure, say N.
2817 tristate "PPP MPPE compression (encryption) (EXPERIMENTAL)"
2818 depends on PPP && EXPERIMENTAL
2824 Support for the MPPE Encryption protocol, as employed by the

2831 tristate "PPP over Ethernet (EXPERIMENTAL)"
2832 depends on EXPERIMENTAL && PPP
2834 Support for PPP over Ethernet.
2836 This driver requires the latest version of pppd from the CVS
2837 repository at cvs.samba.org. Alternatively, see the
2838 RoaringPenguin package (<http://www.roaringpenguin.com/pppoe>)
2839 which contains instruction on how to use this driver (under
2840 the heading "Kernel mode PPPoE").
2843 tristate "PPP over ATM"
2844 depends on ATM && PPP
2846 Support PPP (Point to Point Protocol) encapsulated in ATM frames.
2847 This implementation does not yet comply with section 8 of RFC2364,
2848 which can lead to bad results if the ATM peer loses state and
2849 changes its encapsulation unilaterally.
2852 tristate "PPP over L2TP (EXPERIMENTAL)"
2853 depends on EXPERIMENTAL && PPP
2855 Support for PPP-over-L2TP socket family. L2TP is a protocol
2856 used by ISPs and enterprises to tunnel PPP traffic over UDP
2857 tunnels. L2TP is replacing PPTP for VPN uses.
2859 This kernel component handles only L2TP data packets: a
2860 userland daemon handles L2TP the control protocol (tunnel
2861 and session setup). One such daemon is OpenL2TP
2862 (http://openl2tp.sourceforge.net/).
2865 tristate "SLIP (serial line) support"
2867 Say Y if you intend to use SLIP or CSLIP (compressed SLIP) to
2868 connect to your Internet service provider or to connect to some
2869 other local Unix box or if you want to configure your Linux box as a
2870 Slip/CSlip server for other people to dial in. SLIP (Serial Line
2871 Internet Protocol) is a protocol used to send Internet traffic over
2872 serial connections such as telephone lines or null modem cables;
2873 nowadays, the protocol PPP is more commonly used for this same
2876 Normally, your access provider has to support SLIP in order for you
2877 to be able to use it, but there is now a SLIP emulator called SLiRP
2878 around (available from
2879 <ftp://ibiblio.org/pub/Linux/system/network/serial/>) which
2880 allows you to use SLIP over a regular dial up shell connection. If
2881 you plan to use SLiRP, make sure to say Y to CSLIP, below. The
2882 NET-3-HOWTO, available from
2883 <http://www.tldp.org/docs.html#howto>, explains how to
2884 configure SLIP. Note that you don't need this option if you just
2885 want to run term (term is a program which gives you almost full
2886 Internet connectivity if you have a regular dial up shell account on
2887 some Internet connected Unix computer. Read
2888 <http://www.bart.nl/~patrickr/term-howto/Term-HOWTO.html>). SLIP
2889 support will enlarge your kernel by about 4 KB. If unsure, say N.
2891 To compile this driver as a module, choose M here and read
2892 <file:Documentation/networking/net-modules.txt>. The module will be
2895 config SLIP_COMPRESSED
2896 bool "CSLIP compressed headers"
2900 This protocol is faster than SLIP because it uses compression on the
2901 TCP/IP headers (not on the data itself), but it has to be supported
2902 on both ends. Ask your access provider if you are not sure and
2903 answer Y, just in case. You will still be able to use plain SLIP. If
2904 you plan to use SLiRP, the SLIP emulator (available from
2905 <ftp://ibiblio.org/pub/Linux/system/network/serial/>) which
2906 allows you to use SLIP over a regular dial up shell connection, you
2907 definitely want to say Y here. The NET-3-HOWTO, available from
2908 <http://www.tldp.org/docs.html#howto>, explains how to configure
2909 CSLIP. This won't enlarge your kernel.
2914 This option enables Van Jacobsen serial line header compression
2918 bool "Keepalive and linefill"
2921 Adds additional capabilities to the SLIP driver to support the
2922 RELCOM line fill and keepalive monitoring. Ideal on poor quality
2925 config SLIP_MODE_SLIP6
2926 bool "Six bit SLIP encapsulation"
2929 Just occasionally you may need to run IP over hostile serial
2930 networks that don't pass all control characters or are only seven
2931 bit. Saying Y here adds an extra mode you can use with SLIP:
2932 "slip6". In this mode, SLIP will only send normal ASCII symbols over
2933 the serial device. Naturally, this has to be supported at the other
2934 end of the link as well. It's good enough, for example, to run IP
2935 over the async ports of a Camtec JNT Pad. If unsure, say N.
2938 bool "Fibre Channel driver support"
2939 depends on SCSI && PCI
2941 Fibre Channel is a high speed serial protocol mainly used to connect
2942 large storage devices to the computer; it is compatible with and
2943 intended to replace SCSI.
2945 If you intend to use Fibre Channel, you need to have a Fibre channel
2946 adaptor card in your computer; say Y here and to the driver for your
2947 adaptor below. You also should have said Y to "SCSI support" and
2948 "SCSI generic support".
2951 tristate "Traffic Shaper (OBSOLETE)"
2952 depends on EXPERIMENTAL
2954 The traffic shaper is a virtual network device that allows you to
2955 limit the rate of outgoing data flow over some other network device.
2956 The traffic that you want to slow down can then be routed through
2957 these virtual devices. See
2958 <file:Documentation/networking/shaper.txt> for more information.
2960 An alternative to this traffic shaper are traffic schedulers which
2961 you'll get if you say Y to "QoS and/or fair queuing" in
2962 "Networking options".
2964 To compile this driver as a module, choose M here: the module
2965 will be called shaper. If unsure, say N.
2968 tristate "Network console logging support (EXPERIMENTAL)"
2969 depends on EXPERIMENTAL
2971 If you want to log kernel messages over the network, enable this.
2972 See <file:Documentation/networking/netconsole.txt> for details.
2978 bool "Netpoll traffic trapping"
2982 config NET_POLL_CONTROLLER
