2 # wan devices configuration
9 bool "Wan interfaces support"
11 Wide Area Networks (WANs), such as X.25, Frame Relay and leased
12 lines, are used to interconnect Local Area Networks (LANs) over vast
13 distances with data transfer rates significantly higher than those
14 achievable with commonly used asynchronous modem connections.
16 Usually, a quite expensive external device called a `WAN router' is
17 needed to connect to a WAN. As an alternative, a relatively
18 inexpensive WAN interface card can allow your Linux box to directly
21 If you have one of those cards and wish to use it under Linux,
22 say Y here and also to the WAN driver for your card.
26 # There is no way to detect a comtrol sv11 - force it modular for now.
28 tristate "Comtrol Hostess SV-11 support"
29 depends on WAN && ISA && m && ISA_DMA_API
31 Driver for Comtrol Hostess SV-11 network card which
32 operates on low speed synchronous serial links at up to
33 256Kbps, supporting PPP and Cisco HDLC.
35 The driver will be compiled as a module: the
36 module will be called hostess_sv11.
38 # The COSA/SRP driver has not been tested as non-modular yet.
40 tristate "COSA/SRP sync serial boards support"
41 depends on WAN && ISA && m && ISA_DMA_API
43 Driver for COSA and SRP synchronous serial boards.
45 These boards allow to connect synchronous serial devices (for example
46 base-band modems, or any other device with the X.21, V.24, V.35 or
47 V.36 interface) to your Linux box. The cards can work as the
48 character device, synchronous PPP network device, or the Cisco HDLC
51 You will need user-space utilities COSA or SRP boards for downloading
52 the firmware to the cards and to set them up. Look at the
53 <http://www.fi.muni.cz/~kas/cosa/> for more information. You can also
54 read the comment at the top of the <file:drivers/net/wan/cosa.c> for
55 details about the cards and the driver itself.

71 To compile this driver as a module, choose M here: the
72 module will be called dscc4.
75 bool "Etinc PCISYNC features"
78 Due to Etinc's design choice for its PCISYNC cards, some operations
79 are only allowed on specific ports of the DSCC4. This option is the
80 only way for the driver to know that it shouldn't return a success
81 code for these operations.
83 Please say Y if your card is an Etinc's PCISYNC.
86 bool "Hard reset support"
89 Various DSCC4 bugs forbid any reliable software reset of the ASIC.
90 As a replacement, some vendors provide a way to assert the PCI #RST
91 pin of DSCC4 through the GPIO port of the card. If you choose Y,
92 the driver will make use of this feature before module removal
93 (i.e. rmmod). The feature is known to be available on Commtech's
94 cards. Contact your manufacturer for details.
96 Say Y if your card supports this feature.

327 tristate "Frame Relay DLCI support"

332 Frame Relay is a fast low-cost way to connect to a remote Internet
333 access provider or to form a private wide area network. The one
334 physical line from your box to the local "switch" (i.e. the entry
335 point to the Frame Relay network, usually at the phone company) can
336 carry several logical point-to-point connections to other computers
337 connected to the Frame Relay network. For a general explanation of
338 the protocol, check out <http://www.mplsforum.org/>.
340 To use frame relay, you need supporting hardware (called FRAD) and
341 certain programs from the net-tools package as explained in
342 <file:Documentation/networking/framerelay.txt>.
344 To compile this driver as a module, choose M here: the
345 module will be called dlci.

376 These are multi-protocol cards, but only Frame Relay is supported
377 by the driver at this time. Please read
378 <file:Documentation/networking/framerelay.txt>.
380 To compile this driver as a module, choose M here: the
381 module will be called sdla.

391 You will need the wan-tools package which is available from
392 <ftp://ftp.sangoma.com/>. For more information read:
393 <file:Documentation/networking/wan-router.txt>.
395 Note that the answer to this question won't directly affect the
396 kernel: saying N will just cause the configurator to skip all
397 the questions about WAN router drivers.

403 depends on WAN_ROUTER_DRIVERS && (PCI || ISA)
405 Cyclom 2X from Cyclades Corporation <http://www.cyclades.com/> is an
406 intelligent multiprotocol WAN adapter with data transfer rates up to
407 512 Kbps. These cards support the X.25 and SNA related protocols.
409 While no documentation is available at this time please grab the
