2 # Tulip family network device configuration
6 bool "\"Tulip\" family network device support"
7 depends on PCI || EISA || CARDBUS
9 This selects the "Tulip" family of EISA/PCI network cards.
14 tristate "Early DECchip Tulip (dc2104x) PCI support (EXPERIMENTAL)"
15 depends on PCI && EXPERIMENTAL
18 This driver is developed for the SMC EtherPower series Ethernet
19 cards and also works with cards based on the DECchip
20 21040 (Tulip series) chips. Some LinkSys PCI cards are
21 of this type. (If your card is NOT SMC EtherPower 10/100 PCI
22 (smc9332dst), you can also try the driver for "Generic DECchip"
23 cards, below. However, most people with a network card of this type
24 will say Y here.) Do read the Ethernet-HOWTO, available from
25 <http://www.tldp.org/docs.html#howto>.

32 tristate "DECchip Tulip (dc2114x) PCI support"
36 This driver is developed for the SMC EtherPower series Ethernet
37 cards and also works with cards based on the DECchip
38 21140 (Tulip series) chips. Some LinkSys PCI cards are
39 of this type. (If your card is NOT SMC EtherPower 10/100 PCI
40 (smc9332dst), you can also try the driver for "Generic DECchip"
41 cards, above. However, most people with a network card of this type
42 will say Y here.) Do read the Ethernet-HOWTO, available from

50 bool "New bus configuration (EXPERIMENTAL)"
51 depends on TULIP && EXPERIMENTAL
53 This configures your Tulip card specifically for the card and
54 system cache line size type you are using.
56 This is experimental code, not yet tested on many boards.
61 bool "Use PCI shared mem for NIC registers"
64 Use PCI shared memory for the NIC registers, rather than going through
65 the Tulip's PIO (programmed I/O ports). Faster, but could produce
66 obscure bugs if your mainboard has memory controller timing issues.
70 bool "Use RX polling (NAPI)"
73 NAPI is a new driver API designed to reduce CPU and interrupt load
74 when the driver is receiving lots of packets from the card. It is
75 still somewhat experimental and thus not yet enabled by default.
77 If your estimated Rx load is 10kpps or more, or if the card will be
78 deployed on potentially unfriendly networks (e.g. in a firewall),
83 config TULIP_NAPI_HW_MITIGATION
84 bool "Use Interrupt Mitigation"
87 Use HW to reduce RX interrupts. Not strictly necessary since NAPI
88 reduces RX interrupts by itself. Interrupt mitigation reduces RX
89 interrupts even at low levels of traffic at the cost of a small
95 tristate "Generic DECchip & DIGITAL EtherWORKS PCI/EISA"
96 depends on PCI || EISA
99 This is support for the DIGITAL series of PCI/EISA Ethernet cards.
100 These include the DE425, DE434, DE435, DE450 and DE500 models. If
101 you have a network card of this type, say Y and read the
102 Ethernet-HOWTO, available from
103 <http://www.tldp.org/docs.html#howto>. More specific
104 information is contained in

112 tristate "Winbond W89c840 Ethernet support"
117 This driver is for the Winbond W89c840 chip. It also works with
118 the TX9882 chip on the Compex RL100-ATX board.
119 More specific information and updates are available from
120 <http://www.scyld.com/network/drivers.html>.
123 tristate "Davicom DM910x/DM980x support"
127 This driver is for DM9102(A)/DM9132/DM9801 compatible PCI cards from
128 Davicom (<http://www.davicom.com.tw/>). If you have such a network
129 (Ethernet) card, say Y. Some information is contained in the file

152 This driver is for the Digital "Tulip" Ethernet CardBus adapters.
153 It should work with most DEC 21*4*-based chips/ethercards, as well
154 as with work-alike chips from Lite-On (PNIC) and Macronix (MXIC) and
157 To compile this driver as a module, choose M here and read
158 <file:Documentation/networking/net-modules.txt>. The module will
159 be called xircom_cb. If unsure, say N.

163 depends on CARDBUS && BROKEN_ON_SMP
166 This driver is for the Digital "Tulip" Ethernet CardBus adapters.
