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

30 depends on NET_CLS_ACT
32 This is an intermidiate driver that allows sharing of
34 To compile this driver as a module, choose M here: the module
35 will be called ifb. If you want to use more than one ifb
36 device at a time, you need to compile this driver as a module.
37 Instead of 'ifb', the devices will then be called 'ifb0',
39 Look at the iproute2 documentation directory for usage etc
42 tristate "Dummy net driver support"
44 This is essentially a bit-bucket device (i.e. traffic you send to
45 this device is consigned into oblivion) with a configurable IP
46 address. It is most commonly used in order to make your currently
47 inactive SLIP address seem like a real address for local programs.
48 If you use SLIP or PPP, you might want to say Y here. Since this
49 thing often comes in handy, the default is Y. It won't enlarge your
50 kernel either. What a deal. Read about it in the Network
51 Administrator's Guide, available from
52 <http://www.tldp.org/docs.html#guide>.
54 To compile this driver as a module, choose M here: the module
55 will be called dummy. If you want to use more than one dummy
56 device at a time, you need to compile this driver as a module.
57 Instead of 'dummy', the devices will then be called 'dummy0',
61 tristate "Bonding driver support"
64 Say 'Y' or 'M' if you wish to be able to 'bond' multiple Ethernet
65 Channels together. This is called 'Etherchannel' by Cisco,
66 'Trunking' by Sun, 802.3ad by the IEEE, and 'Bonding' in Linux.
68 The driver supports multiple bonding modes to allow for both high
69 performance and high availability operation.
71 Refer to <file:Documentation/networking/bonding.txt> for more
74 To compile this driver as a module, choose M here: the module
75 will be called bonding.
78 tristate "EQL (serial line load balancing) support"
80 If you have two serial connections to some other computer (this
81 usually requires two modems and two telephone lines) and you use
82 SLIP (the protocol for sending Internet traffic over telephone
83 lines) or PPP (a better SLIP) on them, you can make them behave like
84 one double speed connection using this driver. Naturally, this has
85 to be supported at the other end as well, either with a similar EQL
86 Linux driver or with a Livingston Portmaster 2e.
88 Say Y if you want this and read
89 <file:Documentation/networking/eql.txt>. You may also want to read
90 section 6.2 of the NET-3-HOWTO, available from
91 <http://www.tldp.org/docs.html#howto>.
93 To compile this driver as a module, choose M here: the module
94 will be called eql. If unsure, say N.
97 tristate "Universal TUN/TAP device driver support"
100 TUN/TAP provides packet reception and transmission for user space
101 programs. It can be viewed as a simple Point-to-Point or Ethernet
102 device, which instead of receiving packets from a physical media,
103 receives them from user space program and instead of sending packets
104 via physical media writes them to the user space program.
106 When a program opens /dev/net/tun, driver creates and registers
107 corresponding net device tunX or tapX. After a program closed above
108 devices, driver will automatically delete tunXX or tapXX device and
109 all routes corresponding to it.
111 Please read <file:Documentation/networking/tuntap.txt> for more
114 To compile this driver as a module, choose M here: the module
117 If you don't know what to use this for, you don't need it.
120 tristate "General Instruments Surfboard 1000"
123 This is a driver for the General Instrument (also known as
124 NextLevel) SURFboard 1000 internal
125 cable modem. This is an ISA card which is used by a number of cable
126 TV companies to provide cable modem access. It's a one-way
127 downstream-only cable modem, meaning that your upstream net link is
128 provided by your regular phone modem.
130 At present this driver only compiles as a module, so say M here if
131 you have this card. The module will be called sb1000. Then read
132 <file:Documentation/networking/README.sb1000> for information on how
133 to use this module, as it needs special ppp scripts for establishing
134 a connection. Further documentation and the necessary scripts can be

155 bool "Ethernet (10 or 100Mbit)"
157 Ethernet (also called IEEE 802.3 or ISO 8802-2) is the most common
158 type of Local Area Network (LAN) in universities and companies.
160 Common varieties of Ethernet are: 10BASE-2 or Thinnet (10 Mbps over
161 coaxial cable, linking computers in a chain), 10BASE-T or twisted
162 pair (10 Mbps over twisted pair cable, linking computers to central
163 hubs), 10BASE-F (10 Mbps over optical fiber links, using hubs),
164 100BASE-TX (100 Mbps over two twisted pair cables, using hubs),
165 100BASE-T4 (100 Mbps over 4 standard voice-grade twisted pair
166 cables, using hubs), 100BASE-FX (100 Mbps over optical fiber links)
167 [the 100BASE varieties are also known as Fast Ethernet], and Gigabit
168 Ethernet (1 Gbps over optical fiber or short copper links).
170 If your Linux machine will be connected to an Ethernet and you have
171 an Ethernet network interface card (NIC) installed in your computer,
172 say Y here and read the Ethernet-HOWTO, available from
173 <http://www.tldp.org/docs.html#howto>. You will then also have
174 to say Y to the driver for your particular NIC.
176 Note that the answer to this question won't directly affect the
177 kernel: saying N will just cause the configurator to skip all
178 the questions about Ethernet network cards. If unsure, say N.
181 tristate "Generic Media Independent Interface device support"
182 depends on NET_ETHERNET
184 Most ethernet controllers have MII transceiver either as an external

199 To compile this driver as a module, choose M here: the module
202 config MACE_AAUI_PORT
203 bool "Use AAUI port instead of TP by default"
206 Some Apple machines (notably the Apple Network Server) which use the
207 MACE ethernet chip have an Apple AUI port (small 15-pin connector),
208 instead of an 8-pin RJ45 connector for twisted-pair ethernet. Say
209 Y here if you have such a machine. If unsure, say N.
210 The driver will default to AAUI on ANS anyway, and if you use it as
211 a module, you can provide the port_aaui=0|1 to force the driver.
214 tristate "BMAC (G3 ethernet) support"

1638 This implements a function which might come in handy in case you
1639 are using low quality on long cabling. It is required for RealTek
1640 RTL-8139 revision K boards, and totally unused otherwise. It tries
1641 to match the transceiver to the cable characteristics. This is
1642 experimental since hardly documented by the manufacturer.
1646 bool "Support for older RTL-8129/8130 boards"
1649 This enables support for the older and uncommon RTL-8129 and
1650 RTL-8130 chips, which support MII via an external transceiver,
1651 instead of an internal one. Disabling this option will save some

1658 The 8139too driver was recently updated to contain a more rapid
1659 reset sequence, in the face of severe receive errors. This "new"
1660 RX-reset method should be adequate for all boards. But if you

2052 NAPI is a new driver API designed to reduce CPU and interrupt load
2053 when the driver is receiving lots of packets from the card. It is
2054 still somewhat experimental and thus not yet enabled by default.
2056 If your estimated Rx load is 10kpps or more, or if the card will be
2057 deployed on potentially unfriendly networks (e.g. in a firewall),
2060 See <file:Documentation/networking/NAPI_HOWTO.txt> for more

2529 bool "HIPPI driver support (EXPERIMENTAL)"
2530 depends on EXPERIMENTAL && INET && PCI
2532 HIgh Performance Parallel Interface (HIPPI) is a 800Mbit/sec and
2533 1600Mbit/sec dual-simplex switched or point-to-point network. HIPPI
2534 can run over copper (25m) or fiber (300m on multi-mode or 10km on
2535 single-mode). HIPPI networks are commonly used for clusters and to
2536 connect to super computers. If you are connected to a HIPPI network
2537 and have a HIPPI network card in your computer that you want to use
2538 under Linux, say Y here (you must also remember to enable the driver
2539 for your HIPPI card below). Most people will say N here.
2542 tristate "Essential RoadRunner HIPPI PCI adapter support (EXPERIMENTAL)"
2543 depends on HIPPI && PCI
2545 Say Y here if this is your PCI HIPPI network card.
2547 To compile this driver as a module, choose M here: the module
2548 will be called rrunner. If unsure, say N.
2550 config ROADRUNNER_LARGE_RINGS
2551 bool "Use large TX/RX rings (EXPERIMENTAL)"
2552 depends on ROADRUNNER
2554 If you say Y here, the RoadRunner driver will preallocate up to 2 MB
2555 of additional memory to allow for fastest operation, both for
2556 transmitting and receiving. This memory cannot be used by any other
2557 kernel code or by user space programs. Say Y here only if you have
2561 tristate "PLIP (parallel port) support"
2564 PLIP (Parallel Line Internet Protocol) is used to create a
2565 reasonably fast mini network consisting of two (or, rarely, more)
2566 local machines. A PLIP link from a Linux box is a popular means to
2567 install a Linux distribution on a machine which doesn't have a
2568 CD-ROM drive (a minimal system has to be transferred with floppies
2569 first). The kernels on both machines need to have this PLIP option
2570 enabled for this to work.
2572 The PLIP driver has two modes, mode 0 and mode 1. The parallel
2573 ports (the connectors at the computers with 25 holes) are connected
2574 with "null printer" or "Turbo Laplink" cables which can transmit 4
2575 bits at a time (mode 0) or with special PLIP cables, to be used on
2576 bidirectional parallel ports only, which can transmit 8 bits at a
2577 time (mode 1); you can find the wiring of these cables in
2578 <file:Documentation/networking/PLIP.txt>. The cables can be up to
2579 15m long. Mode 0 works also if one of the machines runs DOS/Windows
2580 and has some PLIP software installed, e.g. the Crynwr PLIP packet
2581 driver (<http://oak.oakland.edu/simtel.net/msdos/pktdrvr-pre.html>)
2582 and winsock or NCSA's telnet.
2584 If you want to use PLIP, say Y and read the PLIP mini-HOWTO as well
2585 as the NET-3-HOWTO, both available from
2586 <http://www.tldp.org/docs.html#howto>. Note that the PLIP
2587 protocol has been changed and this PLIP driver won't work together
2588 with the PLIP support in Linux versions 1.0.x. This option enlarges
2589 your kernel by about 8 KB.
2591 To compile this driver as a module, choose M here and read
2592 <file:Documentation/networking/net-modules.txt>. The module will be
2593 called plip. If unsure, say Y or M, in case you buy a laptop
2597 tristate "PPP (point-to-point protocol) support"
2600 PPP (Point to Point Protocol) is a newer and better SLIP. It serves
2601 the same purpose: sending Internet traffic over telephone (and other
2602 serial) lines. Ask your access provider if they support it, because
2603 otherwise you can't use it; most Internet access providers these
2604 days support PPP rather than SLIP.
2606 To use PPP, you need an additional program called pppd as described
2607 in the PPP-HOWTO, available at
2608 <http://www.tldp.org/docs.html#howto>. Make sure that you have
2609 the version of pppd recommended in <file:Documentation/Changes>.
2610 The PPP option enlarges your kernel by about 16 KB.
2612 There are actually two versions of PPP: the traditional PPP for
2613 asynchronous lines, such as regular analog phone lines, and
2614 synchronous PPP which can be used over digital ISDN lines for
2615 example. If you want to use PPP over phone lines or other
2616 asynchronous serial lines, you need to say Y (or M) here and also to
2617 the next option, "PPP support for async serial ports". For PPP over
2618 synchronous lines, you should say Y (or M) here and to "Support
2619 synchronous PPP", below.
2621 If you said Y to "Version information on all symbols" above, then
2622 you cannot compile the PPP driver into the kernel; you can then only
2623 compile it as a module. To compile this driver as a module, choose M
2624 here and read <file:Documentation/networking/net-modules.txt>.
2625 The module will be called ppp_generic.
2627 config PPP_MULTILINK
2628 bool "PPP multilink support (EXPERIMENTAL)"
2629 depends on PPP && EXPERIMENTAL
2631 PPP multilink is a protocol (defined in RFC 1990) which allows you
2632 to combine several (logical or physical) lines into one logical PPP
2633 connection, so that you can utilize your full bandwidth.
2635 This has to be supported at the other end as well and you need a
2636 version of the pppd daemon which understands the multilink protocol.
2641 bool "PPP filtering"
2644 Say Y here if you want to be able to filter the packets passing over
2645 PPP interfaces. This allows you to control which packets count as
2646 activity (i.e. which packets will reset the idle timer or bring up
2647 a demand-dialed link) and which packets are to be dropped entirely.
2648 You need to say Y here if you wish to use the pass-filter and
2649 active-filter options to pppd.
2654 tristate "PPP support for async serial ports"
2658 Say Y (or M) here if you want to be able to use PPP over standard
2659 asynchronous serial ports, such as COM1 or COM2 on a PC. If you use
2660 a modem (not a synchronous or ISDN modem) to contact your ISP, you
2663 To compile this driver as a module, choose M here.
2668 tristate "PPP support for sync tty ports"
2671 Say Y (or M) here if you want to be able to use PPP over synchronous
2672 (HDLC) tty devices, such as the SyncLink adapter. These devices
2673 are often used for high-speed leased lines like T1/E1.
2675 To compile this driver as a module, choose M here.
2678 tristate "PPP Deflate compression"
2683 Support for the Deflate compression method for PPP, which uses the
2684 Deflate algorithm (the same algorithm that gzip uses) to compress
2685 each PPP packet before it is sent over the wire. The machine at the
2686 other end of the PPP link (usually your ISP) has to support the
2687 Deflate compression method as well for this to be useful. Even if
2688 they don't support it, it is safe to say Y here.
2690 To compile this driver as a module, choose M here.
2693 tristate "PPP BSD-Compress compression"
2696 Support for the BSD-Compress compression method for PPP, which uses
2697 the LZW compression method to compress each PPP packet before it is
2698 sent over the wire. The machine at the other end of the PPP link
2699 (usually your ISP) has to support the BSD-Compress compression
2700 method as well for this to be useful. Even if they don't support it,
2701 it is safe to say Y here.
2703 The PPP Deflate compression method ("PPP Deflate compression",
2704 above) is preferable to BSD-Compress, because it compresses better
2707 Note that the BSD compression code will always be compiled as a
2708 module; it is called bsd_comp and will show up in the directory
2709 modules once you have said "make modules". If unsure, say N.
2712 tristate "PPP MPPE compression (encryption) (EXPERIMENTAL)"
2713 depends on PPP && EXPERIMENTAL
2718 Support for the MPPE Encryption protocol, as employed by the
2719 Microsoft Point-to-Point Tunneling Protocol.
2721 See http://pptpclient.sourceforge.net/ for information on
2722 configuring PPTP clients and servers to utilize this method.
2725 tristate "PPP over Ethernet (EXPERIMENTAL)"
2726 depends on EXPERIMENTAL && PPP
2728 Support for PPP over Ethernet.
2730 This driver requires the latest version of pppd from the CVS
2731 repository at cvs.samba.org. Alternatively, see the
2732 RoaringPenguin package (<http://www.roaringpenguin.com/pppoe>)
2733 which contains instruction on how to use this driver (under
2734 the heading "Kernel mode PPPoE").
2737 tristate "PPP over ATM"
2738 depends on ATM && PPP
2740 Support PPP (Point to Point Protocol) encapsulated in ATM frames.
2741 This implementation does not yet comply with section 8 of RFC2364,
2742 which can lead to bad results if the ATM peer loses state and
2743 changes its encapsulation unilaterally.
2746 tristate "SLIP (serial line) support"
2748 Say Y if you intend to use SLIP or CSLIP (compressed SLIP) to
2749 connect to your Internet service provider or to connect to some
2750 other local Unix box or if you want to configure your Linux box as a
2751 Slip/CSlip server for other people to dial in. SLIP (Serial Line
2752 Internet Protocol) is a protocol used to send Internet traffic over
2753 serial connections such as telephone lines or null modem cables;
2754 nowadays, the protocol PPP is more commonly used for this same
2757 Normally, your access provider has to support SLIP in order for you
2758 to be able to use it, but there is now a SLIP emulator called SLiRP
2759 around (available from
2760 <ftp://ibiblio.org/pub/Linux/system/network/serial/>) which
2761 allows you to use SLIP over a regular dial up shell connection. If
2762 you plan to use SLiRP, make sure to say Y to CSLIP, below. The
2763 NET-3-HOWTO, available from
2764 <http://www.tldp.org/docs.html#howto>, explains how to
2765 configure SLIP. Note that you don't need this option if you just
2766 want to run term (term is a program which gives you almost full
2767 Internet connectivity if you have a regular dial up shell account on
2768 some Internet connected Unix computer. Read
2769 <http://www.bart.nl/~patrickr/term-howto/Term-HOWTO.html>). SLIP
2770 support will enlarge your kernel by about 4 KB. If unsure, say N.
2772 To compile this driver as a module, choose M here and read
2773 <file:Documentation/networking/net-modules.txt>. The module will be
2776 config SLIP_COMPRESSED
2777 bool "CSLIP compressed headers"
2781 This protocol is faster than SLIP because it uses compression on the
2782 TCP/IP headers (not on the data itself), but it has to be supported
2783 on both ends. Ask your access provider if you are not sure and
2784 answer Y, just in case. You will still be able to use plain SLIP. If
2785 you plan to use SLiRP, the SLIP emulator (available from
2786 <ftp://ibiblio.org/pub/Linux/system/network/serial/>) which
2787 allows you to use SLIP over a regular dial up shell connection, you
2788 definitely want to say Y here. The NET-3-HOWTO, available from
2789 <http://www.tldp.org/docs.html#howto>, explains how to configure
2790 CSLIP. This won't enlarge your kernel.
2795 This option enables Van Jacobsen serial line header compression
2799 bool "Keepalive and linefill"
2802 Adds additional capabilities to the SLIP driver to support the
2803 RELCOM line fill and keepalive monitoring. Ideal on poor quality
2806 config SLIP_MODE_SLIP6
2807 bool "Six bit SLIP encapsulation"
2810 Just occasionally you may need to run IP over hostile serial
2811 networks that don't pass all control characters or are only seven
2812 bit. Saying Y here adds an extra mode you can use with SLIP:
2813 "slip6". In this mode, SLIP will only send normal ASCII symbols over
2814 the serial device. Naturally, this has to be supported at the other
2815 end of the link as well. It's good enough, for example, to run IP
2816 over the async ports of a Camtec JNT Pad. If unsure, say N.
2819 bool "Fibre Channel driver support"
2820 depends on SCSI && PCI
2822 Fibre Channel is a high speed serial protocol mainly used to connect
2823 large storage devices to the computer; it is compatible with and
2824 intended to replace SCSI.
2826 If you intend to use Fibre Channel, you need to have a Fibre channel
2827 adaptor card in your computer; say Y here and to the driver for your
2828 adaptor below. You also should have said Y to "SCSI support" and
2829 "SCSI generic support".
2832 tristate "Traffic Shaper (EXPERIMENTAL)"
2833 depends on EXPERIMENTAL
2835 The traffic shaper is a virtual network device that allows you to
2836 limit the rate of outgoing data flow over some other network device.
2837 The traffic that you want to slow down can then be routed through
2838 these virtual devices. See
2839 <file:Documentation/networking/shaper.txt> for more information.
2841 An alternative to this traffic shaper is the experimental
2842 Class-Based Queuing (CBQ) scheduling support which you get if you
2843 say Y to "QoS and/or fair queuing" above.
2845 To compile this driver as a module, choose M here: the module
2846 will be called shaper. If unsure, say N.
2849 tristate "Network console logging support (EXPERIMENTAL)"
2850 depends on EXPERIMENTAL
2852 If you want to log kernel messages over the network, enable this.
2853 See <file:Documentation/networking/netconsole.txt> for details.
2859 bool "Netpoll support for trapping incoming packets"
2864 bool "Netpoll traffic trapping"
2868 config NET_POLL_CONTROLLER
