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.

31 depends on NET_CLS_ACT
33 This is an intermediate driver that allows sharing of
35 To compile this driver as a module, choose M here: the module
36 will be called ifb. If you want to use more than one ifb
37 device at a time, you need to compile this driver as a module.
38 Instead of 'ifb', the devices will then be called 'ifb0',
40 Look at the iproute2 documentation directory for usage etc
43 tristate "Dummy net driver support"
45 This is essentially a bit-bucket device (i.e. traffic you send to
46 this device is consigned into oblivion) with a configurable IP
47 address. It is most commonly used in order to make your currently
48 inactive SLIP address seem like a real address for local programs.
49 If you use SLIP or PPP, you might want to say Y here. Since this
50 thing often comes in handy, the default is Y. It won't enlarge your
51 kernel either. What a deal. Read about it in the Network
52 Administrator's Guide, available from
53 <http://www.tldp.org/docs.html#guide>.
55 To compile this driver as a module, choose M here: the module
56 will be called dummy. If you want to use more than one dummy
57 device at a time, you need to compile this driver as a module.
58 Instead of 'dummy', the devices will then be called 'dummy0',
62 tristate "Bonding driver support"
64 depends on IPV6 || IPV6=n
66 Say 'Y' or 'M' if you wish to be able to 'bond' multiple Ethernet
67 Channels together. This is called 'Etherchannel' by Cisco,
68 'Trunking' by Sun, 802.3ad by the IEEE, and 'Bonding' in Linux.
70 The driver supports multiple bonding modes to allow for both high
71 performance and high availability operation.
73 Refer to <file:Documentation/networking/bonding.txt> for more
76 To compile this driver as a module, choose M here: the module
77 will be called bonding.
80 tristate "MAC-VLAN support (EXPERIMENTAL)"
81 depends on EXPERIMENTAL
83 This allows one to create virtual interfaces that map packets to
84 or from specific MAC addresses to a particular interface.
86 Macvlan devices can be added using the "ip" command from the
87 iproute2 package starting with the iproute2-2.6.23 release:
89 "ip link add link <real dev> [ address MAC ] [ NAME ] type macvlan"
91 To compile this driver as a module, choose M here: the module
92 will be called macvlan.
95 tristate "EQL (serial line load balancing) support"
97 If you have two serial connections to some other computer (this
98 usually requires two modems and two telephone lines) and you use
99 SLIP (the protocol for sending Internet traffic over telephone
100 lines) or PPP (a better SLIP) on them, you can make them behave like
101 one double speed connection using this driver. Naturally, this has
102 to be supported at the other end as well, either with a similar EQL
103 Linux driver or with a Livingston Portmaster 2e.
105 Say Y if you want this and read
106 <file:Documentation/networking/eql.txt>. You may also want to read
107 section 6.2 of the NET-3-HOWTO, available from

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

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

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

199 kernel: saying N will just cause the configurator to skip all
200 the questions about Ethernet network cards. If unsure, say N.
205 tristate "Generic Media Independent Interface device support"

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

1563 bool "Use PIO instead of MMIO"
1567 This instructs the driver to use programmed I/O ports (PIO) instead
1568 of PCI shared memory (MMIO). This can possibly solve some problems
1569 in case your mainboard has memory consistency issues. If unsure,
1572 config 8139TOO_TUNE_TWISTER
1573 bool "Support for uncommon RTL-8139 rev. K (automatic channel equalization)"
1576 This implements a function which might come in handy in case you
1577 are using low quality on long cabling. It is required for RealTek
1578 RTL-8139 revision K boards, and totally unused otherwise. It tries
1579 to match the transceiver to the cable characteristics. This is
1580 experimental since hardly documented by the manufacturer.
1584 bool "Support for older RTL-8129/8130 boards"
1587 This enables support for the older and uncommon RTL-8129 and
1588 RTL-8130 chips, which support MII via an external transceiver,

2644 Fiber Distributed Data Interface is a high speed local area network
2645 design; essentially a replacement for high speed Ethernet. FDDI can
2646 run over copper or fiber. If you are connected to such a network and

2652 tristate "Digital DEFTA/DEFEA/DEFPA adapter support"
2653 depends on FDDI && (PCI || EISA || TC)
2655 This is support for the DIGITAL series of TURBOchannel (DEFTA),
2656 EISA (DEFEA) and PCI (DEFPA) controllers which can connect you
2657 to a local FDDI network.
2659 To compile this driver as a module, choose M here: the module

2664 prompt "Use MMIO instead of PIO" if PCI || EISA
2666 default n if PCI || EISA
2669 This instructs the driver to use EISA or PCI memory-mapped I/O
2670 (MMIO) as appropriate instead of programmed I/O ports (PIO).
2671 Enabling this gives an improvement in processing time in parts
2672 of the driver, but it may cause problems with EISA (DEFEA)
2673 adapters. TURBOchannel does not have the concept of I/O ports,
2674 so MMIO is always used for these (DEFTA) adapters.
2679 tristate "SysKonnect FDDI PCI support"

2714 HIgh Performance Parallel Interface (HIPPI) is a 800Mbit/sec and
2715 1600Mbit/sec dual-simplex switched or point-to-point network. HIPPI
2716 can run over copper (25m) or fiber (300m on multi-mode or 10km on
2717 single-mode). HIPPI networks are commonly used for clusters and to
2718 connect to super computers. If you are connected to a HIPPI network
2719 and have a HIPPI network card in your computer that you want to use
2720 under Linux, say Y here (you must also remember to enable the driver
2721 for your HIPPI card below). Most people will say N here.
2724 tristate "Essential RoadRunner HIPPI PCI adapter support (EXPERIMENTAL)"

2738 transmitting and receiving. This memory cannot be used by any other
2739 kernel code or by user space programs. Say Y here only if you have
2743 tristate "PLIP (parallel port) support"
2746 PLIP (Parallel Line Internet Protocol) is used to create a
2747 reasonably fast mini network consisting of two (or, rarely, more)
2748 local machines. A PLIP link from a Linux box is a popular means to
2749 install a Linux distribution on a machine which doesn't have a
2750 CD-ROM drive (a minimal system has to be transferred with floppies
2751 first). The kernels on both machines need to have this PLIP option
2752 enabled for this to work.
2754 The PLIP driver has two modes, mode 0 and mode 1. The parallel
2755 ports (the connectors at the computers with 25 holes) are connected
2756 with "null printer" or "Turbo Laplink" cables which can transmit 4
2757 bits at a time (mode 0) or with special PLIP cables, to be used on
2758 bidirectional parallel ports only, which can transmit 8 bits at a
2759 time (mode 1); you can find the wiring of these cables in
2760 <file:Documentation/networking/PLIP.txt>. The cables can be up to
2761 15m long. Mode 0 works also if one of the machines runs DOS/Windows
2762 and has some PLIP software installed, e.g. the Crynwr PLIP packet
2763 driver (<http://oak.oakland.edu/simtel.net/msdos/pktdrvr-pre.html>)
2764 and winsock or NCSA's telnet.
2766 If you want to use PLIP, say Y and read the PLIP mini-HOWTO as well
2767 as the NET-3-HOWTO, both available from
2768 <http://www.tldp.org/docs.html#howto>. Note that the PLIP
2769 protocol has been changed and this PLIP driver won't work together
2770 with the PLIP support in Linux versions 1.0.x. This option enlarges
2771 your kernel by about 8 KB.
2773 To compile this driver as a module, choose M here. The module
2774 will be called plip. If unsure, say Y or M, in case you buy
2778 tristate "PPP (point-to-point protocol) support"
2781 PPP (Point to Point Protocol) is a newer and better SLIP. It serves
2782 the same purpose: sending Internet traffic over telephone (and other
2783 serial) lines. Ask your access provider if they support it, because
2784 otherwise you can't use it; most Internet access providers these
2785 days support PPP rather than SLIP.
2787 To use PPP, you need an additional program called pppd as described
2788 in the PPP-HOWTO, available at
2789 <http://www.tldp.org/docs.html#howto>. Make sure that you have
2790 the version of pppd recommended in <file:Documentation/Changes>.
2791 The PPP option enlarges your kernel by about 16 KB.
2793 There are actually two versions of PPP: the traditional PPP for
2794 asynchronous lines, such as regular analog phone lines, and
2795 synchronous PPP which can be used over digital ISDN lines for
2796 example. If you want to use PPP over phone lines or other
2797 asynchronous serial lines, you need to say Y (or M) here and also to
2798 the next option, "PPP support for async serial ports". For PPP over
2799 synchronous lines, you should say Y (or M) here and to "Support
2800 synchronous PPP", below.
2802 If you said Y to "Version information on all symbols" above, then
2803 you cannot compile the PPP driver into the kernel; you can then only
2804 compile it as a module. To compile this driver as a module, choose M
2805 here. The module will be called ppp_generic.
2807 config PPP_MULTILINK
2808 bool "PPP multilink support (EXPERIMENTAL)"
2809 depends on PPP && EXPERIMENTAL
2811 PPP multilink is a protocol (defined in RFC 1990) which allows you
2812 to combine several (logical or physical) lines into one logical PPP
2813 connection, so that you can utilize your full bandwidth.
2815 This has to be supported at the other end as well and you need a
2816 version of the pppd daemon which understands the multilink protocol.
2821 bool "PPP filtering"
2824 Say Y here if you want to be able to filter the packets passing over
2825 PPP interfaces. This allows you to control which packets count as
2826 activity (i.e. which packets will reset the idle timer or bring up
2827 a demand-dialed link) and which packets are to be dropped entirely.
2828 You need to say Y here if you wish to use the pass-filter and
2829 active-filter options to pppd.
2834 tristate "PPP support for async serial ports"
2838 Say Y (or M) here if you want to be able to use PPP over standard
2839 asynchronous serial ports, such as COM1 or COM2 on a PC. If you use
2840 a modem (not a synchronous or ISDN modem) to contact your ISP, you
2843 To compile this driver as a module, choose M here.
2848 tristate "PPP support for sync tty ports"
2851 Say Y (or M) here if you want to be able to use PPP over synchronous
2852 (HDLC) tty devices, such as the SyncLink adapter. These devices
2853 are often used for high-speed leased lines like T1/E1.
2855 To compile this driver as a module, choose M here.
2858 tristate "PPP Deflate compression"
2863 Support for the Deflate compression method for PPP, which uses the
2864 Deflate algorithm (the same algorithm that gzip uses) to compress
2865 each PPP packet before it is sent over the wire. The machine at the
2866 other end of the PPP link (usually your ISP) has to support the
2867 Deflate compression method as well for this to be useful. Even if
2868 they don't support it, it is safe to say Y here.
2870 To compile this driver as a module, choose M here.
2873 tristate "PPP BSD-Compress compression"
2876 Support for the BSD-Compress compression method for PPP, which uses
2877 the LZW compression method to compress each PPP packet before it is
2878 sent over the wire. The machine at the other end of the PPP link
2879 (usually your ISP) has to support the BSD-Compress compression
2880 method as well for this to be useful. Even if they don't support it,
2881 it is safe to say Y here.
2883 The PPP Deflate compression method ("PPP Deflate compression",
2884 above) is preferable to BSD-Compress, because it compresses better
2887 Note that the BSD compression code will always be compiled as a
2888 module; it is called bsd_comp and will show up in the directory
2889 modules once you have said "make modules". If unsure, say N.
2892 tristate "PPP MPPE compression (encryption) (EXPERIMENTAL)"
2893 depends on PPP && EXPERIMENTAL
2899 Support for the MPPE Encryption protocol, as employed by the
2900 Microsoft Point-to-Point Tunneling Protocol.
2902 See http://pptpclient.sourceforge.net/ for information on
2903 configuring PPTP clients and servers to utilize this method.
2906 tristate "PPP over Ethernet (EXPERIMENTAL)"
2907 depends on EXPERIMENTAL && PPP
2909 Support for PPP over Ethernet.
2911 This driver requires the latest version of pppd from the CVS
2912 repository at cvs.samba.org. Alternatively, see the
2913 RoaringPenguin package (<http://www.roaringpenguin.com/pppoe>)
2914 which contains instruction on how to use this driver (under
2915 the heading "Kernel mode PPPoE").
2918 tristate "PPP over ATM"
2919 depends on ATM && PPP
2921 Support PPP (Point to Point Protocol) encapsulated in ATM frames.
2922 This implementation does not yet comply with section 8 of RFC2364,
2923 which can lead to bad results if the ATM peer loses state and
2924 changes its encapsulation unilaterally.
2927 tristate "PPP over L2TP (EXPERIMENTAL)"
2928 depends on EXPERIMENTAL && PPP && INET
2930 Support for PPP-over-L2TP socket family. L2TP is a protocol
2931 used by ISPs and enterprises to tunnel PPP traffic over UDP
2932 tunnels. L2TP is replacing PPTP for VPN uses.
2934 This kernel component handles only L2TP data packets: a
2935 userland daemon handles L2TP the control protocol (tunnel
2936 and session setup). One such daemon is OpenL2TP
2937 (http://openl2tp.sourceforge.net/).
2940 tristate "SLIP (serial line) support"
2942 Say Y if you intend to use SLIP or CSLIP (compressed SLIP) to
2943 connect to your Internet service provider or to connect to some
2944 other local Unix box or if you want to configure your Linux box as a
2945 Slip/CSlip server for other people to dial in. SLIP (Serial Line
2946 Internet Protocol) is a protocol used to send Internet traffic over
2947 serial connections such as telephone lines or null modem cables;
2948 nowadays, the protocol PPP is more commonly used for this same
2951 Normally, your access provider has to support SLIP in order for you
2952 to be able to use it, but there is now a SLIP emulator called SLiRP
2953 around (available from
2954 <ftp://ibiblio.org/pub/Linux/system/network/serial/>) which
2955 allows you to use SLIP over a regular dial up shell connection. If
2956 you plan to use SLiRP, make sure to say Y to CSLIP, below. The
2957 NET-3-HOWTO, available from
2958 <http://www.tldp.org/docs.html#howto>, explains how to
2959 configure SLIP. Note that you don't need this option if you just
2960 want to run term (term is a program which gives you almost full
2961 Internet connectivity if you have a regular dial up shell account on
2962 some Internet connected Unix computer. Read
2963 <http://www.bart.nl/~patrickr/term-howto/Term-HOWTO.html>). SLIP
2964 support will enlarge your kernel by about 4 KB. If unsure, say N.
2966 To compile this driver as a module, choose M here. The module
2967 will be called slip.
2969 config SLIP_COMPRESSED
2970 bool "CSLIP compressed headers"
2974 This protocol is faster than SLIP because it uses compression on the
2975 TCP/IP headers (not on the data itself), but it has to be supported
2976 on both ends. Ask your access provider if you are not sure and
2977 answer Y, just in case. You will still be able to use plain SLIP. If
2978 you plan to use SLiRP, the SLIP emulator (available from
2979 <ftp://ibiblio.org/pub/Linux/system/network/serial/>) which
2980 allows you to use SLIP over a regular dial up shell connection, you
2981 definitely want to say Y here. The NET-3-HOWTO, available from
2982 <http://www.tldp.org/docs.html#howto>, explains how to configure
2983 CSLIP. This won't enlarge your kernel.
2988 This option enables Van Jacobsen serial line header compression
2992 bool "Keepalive and linefill"
2995 Adds additional capabilities to the SLIP driver to support the
2996 RELCOM line fill and keepalive monitoring. Ideal on poor quality
2999 config SLIP_MODE_SLIP6
3000 bool "Six bit SLIP encapsulation"
3003 Just occasionally you may need to run IP over hostile serial
3004 networks that don't pass all control characters or are only seven
3005 bit. Saying Y here adds an extra mode you can use with SLIP:
3006 "slip6". In this mode, SLIP will only send normal ASCII symbols over
3007 the serial device. Naturally, this has to be supported at the other
3008 end of the link as well. It's good enough, for example, to run IP
3009 over the async ports of a Camtec JNT Pad. If unsure, say N.
3012 bool "Fibre Channel driver support"
3013 depends on SCSI && PCI
3015 Fibre Channel is a high speed serial protocol mainly used to connect
3016 large storage devices to the computer; it is compatible with and
3017 intended to replace SCSI.
3019 If you intend to use Fibre Channel, you need to have a Fibre channel
3020 adaptor card in your computer; say Y here and to the driver for your
3021 adaptor below. You also should have said Y to "SCSI support" and
3022 "SCSI generic support".
3025 tristate "Network console logging support (EXPERIMENTAL)"
3026 depends on EXPERIMENTAL
3028 If you want to log kernel messages over the network, enable this.
3029 See <file:Documentation/networking/netconsole.txt> for details.
3031 config NETCONSOLE_DYNAMIC
3032 bool "Dynamic reconfiguration of logging targets (EXPERIMENTAL)"
3033 depends on NETCONSOLE && SYSFS && EXPERIMENTAL
3036 This option enables the ability to dynamically reconfigure target
3037 parameters (interface, IP addresses, port numbers, MAC addresses)
3038 at runtime through a userspace interface exported using configfs.
3039 See <file:Documentation/networking/netconsole.txt> for details.
3045 bool "Netpoll traffic trapping"
3049 config NET_POLL_CONTROLLER
3053 tristate "Virtio network driver (EXPERIMENTAL)"
3054 depends on EXPERIMENTAL && VIRTIO
3056 This is the virtual network driver for virtio. It can be used with
3057 lguest or QEMU based VMMs (like KVM or Xen). Say Y or M.
