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.

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

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

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

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

1575 bool "Use PIO instead of MMIO"
1579 This instructs the driver to use programmed I/O ports (PIO) instead
1580 of PCI shared memory (MMIO). This can possibly solve some problems
1581 in case your mainboard has memory consistency issues. If unsure,
1584 config 8139TOO_TUNE_TWISTER
1585 bool "Support for uncommon RTL-8139 rev. K (automatic channel equalization)"
1588 This implements a function which might come in handy in case you
1589 are using low quality on long cabling. It is required for RealTek
1590 RTL-8139 revision K boards, and totally unused otherwise. It tries
1591 to match the transceiver to the cable characteristics. This is
1592 experimental since hardly documented by the manufacturer.
1596 bool "Support for older RTL-8129/8130 boards"
1599 This enables support for the older and uncommon RTL-8129 and
1600 RTL-8130 chips, which support MII via an external transceiver,
1601 instead of an internal one. Disabling this option will save some
1602 memory by making the code size smaller. If unsure, say Y.
1604 config 8139_OLD_RX_RESET
1605 bool "Use older RX-reset method"
1608 The 8139too driver was recently updated to contain a more rapid
1609 reset sequence, in the face of severe receive errors. This "new"
1610 RX-reset method should be adequate for all boards. But if you
1611 experience problems, you can enable this option to restore the
1612 old RX-reset behavior. If unsure, say N.

1761 <http://www.tldp.org/docs.html#howto>.
1763 If you want to plug a network (or some other) card into the PCMCIA
1764 (or PC-card) slot of your laptop instead (PCMCIA is the standard for
1765 credit card size extension cards used by all modern laptops), you
1766 need the pcmcia-cs package (location contained in the file
1767 <file:Documentation/Changes>) and you can say N here.

2720 Fiber Distributed Data Interface is a high speed local area network
2721 design; essentially a replacement for high speed Ethernet. FDDI can
2722 run over copper or fiber. If you are connected to such a network and
2723 want a driver for the FDDI card in your computer, say Y here (and
2724 then also Y to the driver for your FDDI card, below). Most people
2728 tristate "Digital DEFTA/DEFEA/DEFPA adapter support"
2729 depends on FDDI && (PCI || EISA || TC)
2731 This is support for the DIGITAL series of TURBOchannel (DEFTA),
2732 EISA (DEFEA) and PCI (DEFPA) controllers which can connect you
2733 to a local FDDI network.
2735 To compile this driver as a module, choose M here: the module
2736 will be called defxx. If unsure, say N.
2740 prompt "Use MMIO instead of PIO" if PCI || EISA
2742 default n if PCI || EISA
2745 This instructs the driver to use EISA or PCI memory-mapped I/O
2746 (MMIO) as appropriate instead of programmed I/O ports (PIO).
2747 Enabling this gives an improvement in processing time in parts
2748 of the driver, but it may cause problems with EISA (DEFEA)
2749 adapters. TURBOchannel does not have the concept of I/O ports,
2750 so MMIO is always used for these (DEFTA) adapters.
2755 tristate "SysKonnect FDDI PCI support"

2790 HIgh Performance Parallel Interface (HIPPI) is a 800Mbit/sec and
2791 1600Mbit/sec dual-simplex switched or point-to-point network. HIPPI
2792 can run over copper (25m) or fiber (300m on multi-mode or 10km on
2793 single-mode). HIPPI networks are commonly used for clusters and to
2794 connect to super computers. If you are connected to a HIPPI network
2795 and have a HIPPI network card in your computer that you want to use
2796 under Linux, say Y here (you must also remember to enable the driver
2797 for your HIPPI card below). Most people will say N here.

2819 tristate "PLIP (parallel port) support"
2822 PLIP (Parallel Line Internet Protocol) is used to create a
2823 reasonably fast mini network consisting of two (or, rarely, more)
2824 local machines. A PLIP link from a Linux box is a popular means to
2825 install a Linux distribution on a machine which doesn't have a
2826 CD-ROM drive (a minimal system has to be transferred with floppies
2827 first). The kernels on both machines need to have this PLIP option
2828 enabled for this to work.
2830 The PLIP driver has two modes, mode 0 and mode 1. The parallel
2831 ports (the connectors at the computers with 25 holes) are connected
2832 with "null printer" or "Turbo Laplink" cables which can transmit 4
2833 bits at a time (mode 0) or with special PLIP cables, to be used on
2834 bidirectional parallel ports only, which can transmit 8 bits at a
2835 time (mode 1); you can find the wiring of these cables in
2836 <file:Documentation/networking/PLIP.txt>. The cables can be up to
2837 15m long. Mode 0 works also if one of the machines runs DOS/Windows
2838 and has some PLIP software installed, e.g. the Crynwr PLIP packet
2839 driver (<http://oak.oakland.edu/simtel.net/msdos/pktdrvr-pre.html>)
2840 and winsock or NCSA's telnet.
2842 If you want to use PLIP, say Y and read the PLIP mini-HOWTO as well
2843 as the NET-3-HOWTO, both available from
2844 <http://www.tldp.org/docs.html#howto>. Note that the PLIP
2845 protocol has been changed and this PLIP driver won't work together
2846 with the PLIP support in Linux versions 1.0.x. This option enlarges
2847 your kernel by about 8 KB.
2849 To compile this driver as a module, choose M here. The module
2850 will be called plip. If unsure, say Y or M, in case you buy
2854 tristate "PPP (point-to-point protocol) support"
2857 PPP (Point to Point Protocol) is a newer and better SLIP. It serves
2858 the same purpose: sending Internet traffic over telephone (and other
2859 serial) lines. Ask your access provider if they support it, because
2860 otherwise you can't use it; most Internet access providers these
2861 days support PPP rather than SLIP.
2863 To use PPP, you need an additional program called pppd as described
2864 in the PPP-HOWTO, available at
2865 <http://www.tldp.org/docs.html#howto>. Make sure that you have
2866 the version of pppd recommended in <file:Documentation/Changes>.
2867 The PPP option enlarges your kernel by about 16 KB.
2869 There are actually two versions of PPP: the traditional PPP for
2870 asynchronous lines, such as regular analog phone lines, and
2871 synchronous PPP which can be used over digital ISDN lines for
2872 example. If you want to use PPP over phone lines or other
2873 asynchronous serial lines, you need to say Y (or M) here and also to
2874 the next option, "PPP support for async serial ports". For PPP over
2875 synchronous lines, you should say Y (or M) here and to "Support
2876 synchronous PPP", below.
2878 If you said Y to "Version information on all symbols" above, then
2879 you cannot compile the PPP driver into the kernel; you can then only
2880 compile it as a module. To compile this driver as a module, choose M
2881 here. The module will be called ppp_generic.
2883 config PPP_MULTILINK
2884 bool "PPP multilink support (EXPERIMENTAL)"
2885 depends on PPP && EXPERIMENTAL
2887 PPP multilink is a protocol (defined in RFC 1990) which allows you
2888 to combine several (logical or physical) lines into one logical PPP
2889 connection, so that you can utilize your full bandwidth.
2891 This has to be supported at the other end as well and you need a
2892 version of the pppd daemon which understands the multilink protocol.
2897 bool "PPP filtering"
2900 Say Y here if you want to be able to filter the packets passing over
2901 PPP interfaces. This allows you to control which packets count as
2902 activity (i.e. which packets will reset the idle timer or bring up
2903 a demand-dialed link) and which packets are to be dropped entirely.
2904 You need to say Y here if you wish to use the pass-filter and
2905 active-filter options to pppd.
2910 tristate "PPP support for async serial ports"
2914 Say Y (or M) here if you want to be able to use PPP over standard
2915 asynchronous serial ports, such as COM1 or COM2 on a PC. If you use
2916 a modem (not a synchronous or ISDN modem) to contact your ISP, you
2919 To compile this driver as a module, choose M here.
2924 tristate "PPP support for sync tty ports"
2927 Say Y (or M) here if you want to be able to use PPP over synchronous
2928 (HDLC) tty devices, such as the SyncLink adapter. These devices
2929 are often used for high-speed leased lines like T1/E1.
2931 To compile this driver as a module, choose M here.
2934 tristate "PPP Deflate compression"
2939 Support for the Deflate compression method for PPP, which uses the
2940 Deflate algorithm (the same algorithm that gzip uses) to compress
2941 each PPP packet before it is sent over the wire. The machine at the
2942 other end of the PPP link (usually your ISP) has to support the
2943 Deflate compression method as well for this to be useful. Even if
2944 they don't support it, it is safe to say Y here.
2946 To compile this driver as a module, choose M here.
2949 tristate "PPP BSD-Compress compression"
2952 Support for the BSD-Compress compression method for PPP, which uses
2953 the LZW compression method to compress each PPP packet before it is
2954 sent over the wire. The machine at the other end of the PPP link
2955 (usually your ISP) has to support the BSD-Compress compression
2956 method as well for this to be useful. Even if they don't support it,
2957 it is safe to say Y here.
2959 The PPP Deflate compression method ("PPP Deflate compression",
2960 above) is preferable to BSD-Compress, because it compresses better
2963 Note that the BSD compression code will always be compiled as a
2964 module; it is called bsd_comp and will show up in the directory
2965 modules once you have said "make modules". If unsure, say N.
2968 tristate "PPP MPPE compression (encryption) (EXPERIMENTAL)"
2969 depends on PPP && EXPERIMENTAL
2975 Support for the MPPE Encryption protocol, as employed by the
2976 Microsoft Point-to-Point Tunneling Protocol.
2978 See http://pptpclient.sourceforge.net/ for information on
2979 configuring PPTP clients and servers to utilize this method.
2982 tristate "PPP over Ethernet (EXPERIMENTAL)"
2983 depends on EXPERIMENTAL && PPP
2985 Support for PPP over Ethernet.
2987 This driver requires the latest version of pppd from the CVS
2988 repository at cvs.samba.org. Alternatively, see the
2989 RoaringPenguin package (<http://www.roaringpenguin.com/pppoe>)
2990 which contains instruction on how to use this driver (under
2991 the heading "Kernel mode PPPoE").
2994 tristate "PPP over ATM"
2995 depends on ATM && PPP
2997 Support PPP (Point to Point Protocol) encapsulated in ATM frames.
2998 This implementation does not yet comply with section 8 of RFC2364,
2999 which can lead to bad results if the ATM peer loses state and
3000 changes its encapsulation unilaterally.
3003 tristate "PPP over L2TP (EXPERIMENTAL)"
3004 depends on EXPERIMENTAL && PPP && INET
3006 Support for PPP-over-L2TP socket family. L2TP is a protocol
3007 used by ISPs and enterprises to tunnel PPP traffic over UDP
3008 tunnels. L2TP is replacing PPTP for VPN uses.
3010 This kernel component handles only L2TP data packets: a
3011 userland daemon handles L2TP the control protocol (tunnel
3012 and session setup). One such daemon is OpenL2TP
3013 (http://openl2tp.sourceforge.net/).
3016 tristate "SLIP (serial line) support"
3018 Say Y if you intend to use SLIP or CSLIP (compressed SLIP) to
3019 connect to your Internet service provider or to connect to some
3020 other local Unix box or if you want to configure your Linux box as a
3021 Slip/CSlip server for other people to dial in. SLIP (Serial Line
3022 Internet Protocol) is a protocol used to send Internet traffic over
3023 serial connections such as telephone lines or null modem cables;
3024 nowadays, the protocol PPP is more commonly used for this same
3027 Normally, your access provider has to support SLIP in order for you
3028 to be able to use it, but there is now a SLIP emulator called SLiRP
3029 around (available from
3030 <ftp://ibiblio.org/pub/Linux/system/network/serial/>) which
3031 allows you to use SLIP over a regular dial up shell connection. If
3032 you plan to use SLiRP, make sure to say Y to CSLIP, below. The
3033 NET-3-HOWTO, available from
3034 <http://www.tldp.org/docs.html#howto>, explains how to
3035 configure SLIP. Note that you don't need this option if you just
3036 want to run term (term is a program which gives you almost full
3037 Internet connectivity if you have a regular dial up shell account on
3038 some Internet connected Unix computer. Read
3039 <http://www.bart.nl/~patrickr/term-howto/Term-HOWTO.html>). SLIP
3040 support will enlarge your kernel by about 4 KB. If unsure, say N.
3042 To compile this driver as a module, choose M here. The module
3043 will be called slip.
3045 config SLIP_COMPRESSED
3046 bool "CSLIP compressed headers"
3050 This protocol is faster than SLIP because it uses compression on the
3051 TCP/IP headers (not on the data itself), but it has to be supported
3052 on both ends. Ask your access provider if you are not sure and
3053 answer Y, just in case. You will still be able to use plain SLIP. If
3054 you plan to use SLiRP, the SLIP emulator (available from
3055 <ftp://ibiblio.org/pub/Linux/system/network/serial/>) which
3056 allows you to use SLIP over a regular dial up shell connection, you
3057 definitely want to say Y here. The NET-3-HOWTO, available from
3058 <http://www.tldp.org/docs.html#howto>, explains how to configure
3059 CSLIP. This won't enlarge your kernel.
3064 This option enables Van Jacobsen serial line header compression
3068 bool "Keepalive and linefill"
3071 Adds additional capabilities to the SLIP driver to support the
3072 RELCOM line fill and keepalive monitoring. Ideal on poor quality
3075 config SLIP_MODE_SLIP6
3076 bool "Six bit SLIP encapsulation"
3079 Just occasionally you may need to run IP over hostile serial
3080 networks that don't pass all control characters or are only seven
3081 bit. Saying Y here adds an extra mode you can use with SLIP:
3082 "slip6". In this mode, SLIP will only send normal ASCII symbols over
3083 the serial device. Naturally, this has to be supported at the other
3084 end of the link as well. It's good enough, for example, to run IP
3085 over the async ports of a Camtec JNT Pad. If unsure, say N.
3088 bool "Fibre Channel driver support"
3089 depends on SCSI && PCI
3091 Fibre Channel is a high speed serial protocol mainly used to connect
3092 large storage devices to the computer; it is compatible with and
3093 intended to replace SCSI.
3095 If you intend to use Fibre Channel, you need to have a Fibre channel
3096 adaptor card in your computer; say Y here and to the driver for your
3097 adaptor below. You also should have said Y to "SCSI support" and
3098 "SCSI generic support".
3101 tristate "Network console logging support (EXPERIMENTAL)"
3102 depends on EXPERIMENTAL
3104 If you want to log kernel messages over the network, enable this.
3105 See <file:Documentation/networking/netconsole.txt> for details.
3107 config NETCONSOLE_DYNAMIC
3108 bool "Dynamic reconfiguration of logging targets (EXPERIMENTAL)"
3109 depends on NETCONSOLE && SYSFS && EXPERIMENTAL
3112 This option enables the ability to dynamically reconfigure target
3113 parameters (interface, IP addresses, port numbers, MAC addresses)
3114 at runtime through a userspace interface exported using configfs.
3115 See <file:Documentation/networking/netconsole.txt> for details.
3121 bool "Netpoll traffic trapping"
3125 config NET_POLL_CONTROLLER
3129 tristate "Virtio network driver (EXPERIMENTAL)"
3130 depends on EXPERIMENTAL && VIRTIO
3132 This is the virtual network driver for virtio. It can be used with
3133 lguest or QEMU based VMMs (like KVM or Xen). Say Y or M.
