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

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

91 or from specific MAC addresses to a particular interface.
93 To compile this driver as a module, choose M here: the module
94 will be called macvlan.
97 tristate "EQL (serial line load balancing) support"
99 If you have two serial connections to some other computer (this
100 usually requires two modems and two telephone lines) and you use
101 SLIP (the protocol for sending Internet traffic over telephone
102 lines) or PPP (a better SLIP) on them, you can make them behave like
103 one double speed connection using this driver. Naturally, this has
104 to be supported at the other end as well, either with a similar EQL
105 Linux driver or with a Livingston Portmaster 2e.
107 Say Y if you want this and read
108 <file:Documentation/networking/eql.txt>. You may also want to read
109 section 6.2 of the NET-3-HOWTO, available from
110 <http://www.tldp.org/docs.html#howto>.
112 To compile this driver as a module, choose M here: the module
113 will be called eql. If unsure, say N.
116 tristate "Universal TUN/TAP device driver support"
119 TUN/TAP provides packet reception and transmission for user space
120 programs. It can be viewed as a simple Point-to-Point or Ethernet
121 device, which instead of receiving packets from a physical media,
122 receives them from user space program and instead of sending packets
123 via physical media writes them to the user space program.
125 When a program opens /dev/net/tun, driver creates and registers
126 corresponding net device tunX or tapX. After a program closed above
127 devices, driver will automatically delete tunXX or tapXX device and
128 all routes corresponding to it.
130 Please read <file:Documentation/networking/tuntap.txt> for more
133 To compile this driver as a module, choose M here: the module
136 If you don't know what to use this for, you don't need it.
139 tristate "Virtual ethernet device"
141 The device is an ethernet tunnel. Devices are created in pairs. When
142 one end receives the packet it appears on its pair and vice versa.
145 tristate "General Instruments Surfboard 1000"
148 This is a driver for the General Instrument (also known as
149 NextLevel) SURFboard 1000 internal
150 cable modem. This is an ISA card which is used by a number of cable
151 TV companies to provide cable modem access. It's a one-way
152 downstream-only cable modem, meaning that your upstream net link is
153 provided by your regular phone modem.
155 At present this driver only compiles as a module, so say M here if
156 you have this card. The module will be called sb1000. Then read
157 <file:Documentation/networking/README.sb1000> for information on how
158 to use this module, as it needs special ppp scripts for establishing
159 a connection. Further documentation and the necessary scripts can be

186 bool "Ethernet (10 or 100Mbit)"
189 Ethernet (also called IEEE 802.3 or ISO 8802-2) is the most common
190 type of Local Area Network (LAN) in universities and companies.
192 Common varieties of Ethernet are: 10BASE-2 or Thinnet (10 Mbps over
193 coaxial cable, linking computers in a chain), 10BASE-T or twisted
194 pair (10 Mbps over twisted pair cable, linking computers to central
195 hubs), 10BASE-F (10 Mbps over optical fiber links, using hubs),
196 100BASE-TX (100 Mbps over two twisted pair cables, using hubs),
197 100BASE-T4 (100 Mbps over 4 standard voice-grade twisted pair
198 cables, using hubs), 100BASE-FX (100 Mbps over optical fiber links)
199 [the 100BASE varieties are also known as Fast Ethernet], and Gigabit
200 Ethernet (1 Gbps over optical fiber or short copper links).
202 If your Linux machine will be connected to an Ethernet and you have
203 an Ethernet network interface card (NIC) installed in your computer,
204 say Y here and read the Ethernet-HOWTO, available from
205 <http://www.tldp.org/docs.html#howto>. You will then also have
206 to say Y to the driver for your particular NIC.
208 Note that the answer to this question won't directly affect the
209 kernel: saying N will just cause the configurator to skip all
210 the questions about Ethernet network cards. If unsure, say N.
215 tristate "Generic Media Independent Interface device support"
217 Most ethernet controllers have MII transceiver either as an external
218 or internal device. It is safe to say Y or M here even if your
219 ethernet card lack MII.

267 MACE ethernet chip have an Apple AUI port (small 15-pin connector),
268 instead of an 8-pin RJ45 connector for twisted-pair ethernet. Say
269 Y here if you have such a machine. If unsure, say N.
270 The driver will default to AAUI on ANS anyway, and if you use it as
271 a module, you can provide the port_aaui=0|1 to force the driver.

2673 depends on (PCI || EISA || TC)
2675 Fiber Distributed Data Interface is a high speed local area network
2676 design; essentially a replacement for high speed Ethernet. FDDI can
2677 run over copper or fiber. If you are connected to such a network and
2678 want a driver for the FDDI card in your computer, say Y here (and
2679 then also Y to the driver for your FDDI card, below). Most people
2683 tristate "Digital DEFTA/DEFEA/DEFPA adapter support"
2684 depends on FDDI && (PCI || EISA || TC)
2686 This is support for the DIGITAL series of TURBOchannel (DEFTA),
2687 EISA (DEFEA) and PCI (DEFPA) controllers which can connect you
2688 to a local FDDI network.
2690 To compile this driver as a module, choose M here: the module
2691 will be called defxx. If unsure, say N.
2695 prompt "Use MMIO instead of PIO" if PCI || EISA
2697 default n if PCI || EISA
2700 This instructs the driver to use EISA or PCI memory-mapped I/O
2701 (MMIO) as appropriate instead of programmed I/O ports (PIO).
2702 Enabling this gives an improvement in processing time in parts
2703 of the driver, but it may cause problems with EISA (DEFEA)
2704 adapters. TURBOchannel does not have the concept of I/O ports,
2705 so MMIO is always used for these (DEFTA) adapters.
2710 tristate "SysKonnect FDDI PCI support"
2711 depends on FDDI && PCI

2747 can run over copper (25m) or fiber (300m on multi-mode or 10km on
2748 single-mode). HIPPI networks are commonly used for clusters and to
2749 connect to super computers. If you are connected to a HIPPI network

2777 PLIP (Parallel Line Internet Protocol) is used to create a
2778 reasonably fast mini network consisting of two (or, rarely, more)
2779 local machines. A PLIP link from a Linux box is a popular means to
2780 install a Linux distribution on a machine which doesn't have a
2781 CD-ROM drive (a minimal system has to be transferred with floppies
2782 first). The kernels on both machines need to have this PLIP option
2783 enabled for this to work.
2785 The PLIP driver has two modes, mode 0 and mode 1. The parallel
2786 ports (the connectors at the computers with 25 holes) are connected
2787 with "null printer" or "Turbo Laplink" cables which can transmit 4
2788 bits at a time (mode 0) or with special PLIP cables, to be used on
2789 bidirectional parallel ports only, which can transmit 8 bits at a
2790 time (mode 1); you can find the wiring of these cables in
2791 <file:Documentation/networking/PLIP.txt>. The cables can be up to
2792 15m long. Mode 0 works also if one of the machines runs DOS/Windows
2793 and has some PLIP software installed, e.g. the Crynwr PLIP packet
2794 driver (<http://oak.oakland.edu/simtel.net/msdos/pktdrvr-pre.html>)
2795 and winsock or NCSA's telnet.
2797 If you want to use PLIP, say Y and read the PLIP mini-HOWTO as well
2798 as the NET-3-HOWTO, both available from
2799 <http://www.tldp.org/docs.html#howto>. Note that the PLIP
2800 protocol has been changed and this PLIP driver won't work together
2801 with the PLIP support in Linux versions 1.0.x. This option enlarges
2802 your kernel by about 8 KB.
2804 To compile this driver as a module, choose M here and read
2805 <file:Documentation/networking/net-modules.txt>. The module will be
2806 called plip. If unsure, say Y or M, in case you buy a laptop
2810 tristate "PPP (point-to-point protocol) support"
2813 PPP (Point to Point Protocol) is a newer and better SLIP. It serves
2814 the same purpose: sending Internet traffic over telephone (and other
2815 serial) lines. Ask your access provider if they support it, because
2816 otherwise you can't use it; most Internet access providers these
2817 days support PPP rather than SLIP.
2819 To use PPP, you need an additional program called pppd as described
2820 in the PPP-HOWTO, available at
2821 <http://www.tldp.org/docs.html#howto>. Make sure that you have
2822 the version of pppd recommended in <file:Documentation/Changes>.
2823 The PPP option enlarges your kernel by about 16 KB.
2825 There are actually two versions of PPP: the traditional PPP for
2826 asynchronous lines, such as regular analog phone lines, and
2827 synchronous PPP which can be used over digital ISDN lines for
2828 example. If you want to use PPP over phone lines or other
2829 asynchronous serial lines, you need to say Y (or M) here and also to
2830 the next option, "PPP support for async serial ports". For PPP over
2831 synchronous lines, you should say Y (or M) here and to "Support
2832 synchronous PPP", below.
2834 If you said Y to "Version information on all symbols" above, then
2835 you cannot compile the PPP driver into the kernel; you can then only
2836 compile it as a module. To compile this driver as a module, choose M
2837 here and read <file:Documentation/networking/net-modules.txt>.
2838 The module will be called ppp_generic.
2840 config PPP_MULTILINK
2841 bool "PPP multilink support (EXPERIMENTAL)"
2842 depends on PPP && EXPERIMENTAL
2844 PPP multilink is a protocol (defined in RFC 1990) which allows you
2845 to combine several (logical or physical) lines into one logical PPP
2846 connection, so that you can utilize your full bandwidth.
2848 This has to be supported at the other end as well and you need a
2849 version of the pppd daemon which understands the multilink protocol.
2854 bool "PPP filtering"
2857 Say Y here if you want to be able to filter the packets passing over
2858 PPP interfaces. This allows you to control which packets count as
2859 activity (i.e. which packets will reset the idle timer or bring up
2860 a demand-dialed link) and which packets are to be dropped entirely.
2861 You need to say Y here if you wish to use the pass-filter and
2862 active-filter options to pppd.
2867 tristate "PPP support for async serial ports"
2871 Say Y (or M) here if you want to be able to use PPP over standard
2872 asynchronous serial ports, such as COM1 or COM2 on a PC. If you use
2873 a modem (not a synchronous or ISDN modem) to contact your ISP, you
2876 To compile this driver as a module, choose M here.
2881 tristate "PPP support for sync tty ports"
2884 Say Y (or M) here if you want to be able to use PPP over synchronous
2885 (HDLC) tty devices, such as the SyncLink adapter. These devices
2886 are often used for high-speed leased lines like T1/E1.
2888 To compile this driver as a module, choose M here.
2891 tristate "PPP Deflate compression"
2896 Support for the Deflate compression method for PPP, which uses the
2897 Deflate algorithm (the same algorithm that gzip uses) to compress
2898 each PPP packet before it is sent over the wire. The machine at the
2899 other end of the PPP link (usually your ISP) has to support the
2900 Deflate compression method as well for this to be useful. Even if
2901 they don't support it, it is safe to say Y here.
2903 To compile this driver as a module, choose M here.
2906 tristate "PPP BSD-Compress compression"
2909 Support for the BSD-Compress compression method for PPP, which uses
2910 the LZW compression method to compress each PPP packet before it is
2911 sent over the wire. The machine at the other end of the PPP link
2912 (usually your ISP) has to support the BSD-Compress compression
2913 method as well for this to be useful. Even if they don't support it,
2914 it is safe to say Y here.
2916 The PPP Deflate compression method ("PPP Deflate compression",
2917 above) is preferable to BSD-Compress, because it compresses better
2920 Note that the BSD compression code will always be compiled as a
2921 module; it is called bsd_comp and will show up in the directory
2922 modules once you have said "make modules". If unsure, say N.
2925 tristate "PPP MPPE compression (encryption) (EXPERIMENTAL)"
2926 depends on PPP && EXPERIMENTAL
2932 Support for the MPPE Encryption protocol, as employed by the
2933 Microsoft Point-to-Point Tunneling Protocol.
2935 See http://pptpclient.sourceforge.net/ for information on
2936 configuring PPTP clients and servers to utilize this method.
2939 tristate "PPP over Ethernet (EXPERIMENTAL)"
2940 depends on EXPERIMENTAL && PPP
2942 Support for PPP over Ethernet.
2944 This driver requires the latest version of pppd from the CVS
2945 repository at cvs.samba.org. Alternatively, see the
2946 RoaringPenguin package (<http://www.roaringpenguin.com/pppoe>)
2947 which contains instruction on how to use this driver (under
2948 the heading "Kernel mode PPPoE").
2951 tristate "PPP over ATM"
2952 depends on ATM && PPP
2954 Support PPP (Point to Point Protocol) encapsulated in ATM frames.
2955 This implementation does not yet comply with section 8 of RFC2364,
2956 which can lead to bad results if the ATM peer loses state and
2957 changes its encapsulation unilaterally.
2960 tristate "PPP over L2TP (EXPERIMENTAL)"
2961 depends on EXPERIMENTAL && PPP && INET
2963 Support for PPP-over-L2TP socket family. L2TP is a protocol
2964 used by ISPs and enterprises to tunnel PPP traffic over UDP
2965 tunnels. L2TP is replacing PPTP for VPN uses.
2967 This kernel component handles only L2TP data packets: a
2968 userland daemon handles L2TP the control protocol (tunnel
2969 and session setup). One such daemon is OpenL2TP
2970 (http://openl2tp.sourceforge.net/).
2973 tristate "SLIP (serial line) support"
2975 Say Y if you intend to use SLIP or CSLIP (compressed SLIP) to
2976 connect to your Internet service provider or to connect to some
2977 other local Unix box or if you want to configure your Linux box as a
2978 Slip/CSlip server for other people to dial in. SLIP (Serial Line
2979 Internet Protocol) is a protocol used to send Internet traffic over
2980 serial connections such as telephone lines or null modem cables;
2981 nowadays, the protocol PPP is more commonly used for this same
2984 Normally, your access provider has to support SLIP in order for you
2985 to be able to use it, but there is now a SLIP emulator called SLiRP
2986 around (available from
2987 <ftp://ibiblio.org/pub/Linux/system/network/serial/>) which
2988 allows you to use SLIP over a regular dial up shell connection. If
2989 you plan to use SLiRP, make sure to say Y to CSLIP, below. The
2990 NET-3-HOWTO, available from
2991 <http://www.tldp.org/docs.html#howto>, explains how to
2992 configure SLIP. Note that you don't need this option if you just
2993 want to run term (term is a program which gives you almost full
2994 Internet connectivity if you have a regular dial up shell account on
2995 some Internet connected Unix computer. Read
2996 <http://www.bart.nl/~patrickr/term-howto/Term-HOWTO.html>). SLIP
2997 support will enlarge your kernel by about 4 KB. If unsure, say N.
2999 To compile this driver as a module, choose M here and read
3000 <file:Documentation/networking/net-modules.txt>. The module will be
3003 config SLIP_COMPRESSED
3004 bool "CSLIP compressed headers"
3008 This protocol is faster than SLIP because it uses compression on the
3009 TCP/IP headers (not on the data itself), but it has to be supported
3010 on both ends. Ask your access provider if you are not sure and
3011 answer Y, just in case. You will still be able to use plain SLIP. If
3012 you plan to use SLiRP, the SLIP emulator (available from
3013 <ftp://ibiblio.org/pub/Linux/system/network/serial/>) which
3014 allows you to use SLIP over a regular dial up shell connection, you
3015 definitely want to say Y here. The NET-3-HOWTO, available from
3016 <http://www.tldp.org/docs.html#howto>, explains how to configure
3017 CSLIP. This won't enlarge your kernel.
3022 This option enables Van Jacobsen serial line header compression
3026 bool "Keepalive and linefill"
3029 Adds additional capabilities to the SLIP driver to support the
3030 RELCOM line fill and keepalive monitoring. Ideal on poor quality
3033 config SLIP_MODE_SLIP6
3034 bool "Six bit SLIP encapsulation"
3037 Just occasionally you may need to run IP over hostile serial
3038 networks that don't pass all control characters or are only seven
3039 bit. Saying Y here adds an extra mode you can use with SLIP:
3040 "slip6". In this mode, SLIP will only send normal ASCII symbols over
3041 the serial device. Naturally, this has to be supported at the other
3042 end of the link as well. It's good enough, for example, to run IP
3043 over the async ports of a Camtec JNT Pad. If unsure, say N.
3046 bool "Fibre Channel driver support"
3047 depends on SCSI && PCI
3049 Fibre Channel is a high speed serial protocol mainly used to connect
3050 large storage devices to the computer; it is compatible with and
3051 intended to replace SCSI.
3053 If you intend to use Fibre Channel, you need to have a Fibre channel
3054 adaptor card in your computer; say Y here and to the driver for your
3055 adaptor below. You also should have said Y to "SCSI support" and
3056 "SCSI generic support".
3059 tristate "Traffic Shaper (OBSOLETE)"
3060 depends on EXPERIMENTAL
3062 The traffic shaper is a virtual network device that allows you to
3063 limit the rate of outgoing data flow over some other network device.
3064 The traffic that you want to slow down can then be routed through
3065 these virtual devices. See
3066 <file:Documentation/networking/shaper.txt> for more information.
3068 An alternative to this traffic shaper are traffic schedulers which
3069 you'll get if you say Y to "QoS and/or fair queuing" in
3070 "Networking options".
3072 To compile this driver as a module, choose M here: the module
3073 will be called shaper. If unsure, say N.
3076 tristate "Network console logging support (EXPERIMENTAL)"
3077 depends on EXPERIMENTAL
3079 If you want to log kernel messages over the network, enable this.
3080 See <file:Documentation/networking/netconsole.txt> for details.
3082 config NETCONSOLE_DYNAMIC
3083 bool "Dynamic reconfiguration of logging targets (EXPERIMENTAL)"
3084 depends on NETCONSOLE && SYSFS && EXPERIMENTAL
3087 This option enables the ability to dynamically reconfigure target
3088 parameters (interface, IP addresses, port numbers, MAC addresses)
3089 at runtime through a userspace interface exported using configfs.
3090 See <file:Documentation/networking/netconsole.txt> for details.
3096 bool "Netpoll traffic trapping"
3100 config NET_POLL_CONTROLLER
