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

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

144 bool "Ethernet (10 or 100Mbit)"
146 Ethernet (also called IEEE 802.3 or ISO 8802-2) is the most common
147 type of Local Area Network (LAN) in universities and companies.
149 Common varieties of Ethernet are: 10BASE-2 or Thinnet (10 Mbps over
150 coaxial cable, linking computers in a chain), 10BASE-T or twisted
151 pair (10 Mbps over twisted pair cable, linking computers to central
152 hubs), 10BASE-F (10 Mbps over optical fiber links, using hubs),
153 100BASE-TX (100 Mbps over two twisted pair cables, using hubs),
154 100BASE-T4 (100 Mbps over 4 standard voice-grade twisted pair
155 cables, using hubs), 100BASE-FX (100 Mbps over optical fiber links)
156 [the 100BASE varieties are also known as Fast Ethernet], and Gigabit
157 Ethernet (1 Gbps over optical fiber or short copper links).
159 If your Linux machine will be connected to an Ethernet and you have
160 an Ethernet network interface card (NIC) installed in your computer,
161 say Y here and read the Ethernet-HOWTO, available from
162 <http://www.tldp.org/docs.html#howto>. You will then also have
163 to say Y to the driver for your particular NIC.
165 Note that the answer to this question won't directly affect the
166 kernel: saying N will just cause the configurator to skip all
167 the questions about Ethernet network cards. If unsure, say N.
170 tristate "Generic Media Independent Interface device support"

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

1518 To compile this driver as a module, choose M here: the module
1519 will be called 8139too. This is recommended.
1522 bool "Use PIO instead of MMIO"
1526 This instructs the driver to use programmed I/O ports (PIO) instead
1527 of PCI shared memory (MMIO). This can possibly solve some problems
1528 in case your mainboard has memory consistency issues. If unsure,
1531 config 8139TOO_TUNE_TWISTER
1532 bool "Support for uncommon RTL-8139 rev. K (automatic channel equalization)"
1535 This implements a function which might come in handy in case you
1536 are using low quality on long cabling. It is required for RealTek
1537 RTL-8139 revision K boards, and totally unused otherwise. It tries
1538 to match the transceiver to the cable characteristics. This is
1539 experimental since hardly documented by the manufacturer.
1543 bool "Support for older RTL-8129/8130 boards"
1546 This enables support for the older and uncommon RTL-8129 and
1547 RTL-8130 chips, which support MII via an external transceiver,
1548 instead of an internal one. Disabling this option will save some
1549 memory by making the code size smaller. If unsure, say Y.
1551 config 8139_OLD_RX_RESET
1552 bool "Use older RX-reset method"
1555 The 8139too driver was recently updated to contain a more rapid
1556 reset sequence, in the face of severe receive errors. This "new"
1557 RX-reset method should be adequate for all boards. But if you
1558 experience problems, you can enable this option to restore the
1559 old RX-reset behavior. If unsure, say N.

2320 bool "HIPPI driver support (EXPERIMENTAL)"
2321 depends on EXPERIMENTAL && INET && PCI
2323 HIgh Performance Parallel Interface (HIPPI) is a 800Mbit/sec and
2324 1600Mbit/sec dual-simplex switched or point-to-point network. HIPPI
2325 can run over copper (25m) or fiber (300m on multi-mode or 10km on
2326 single-mode). HIPPI networks are commonly used for clusters and to
2327 connect to super computers. If you are connected to a HIPPI network
2328 and have a HIPPI network card in your computer that you want to use
2329 under Linux, say Y here (you must also remember to enable the driver
2330 for your HIPPI card below). Most people will say N here.
2333 tristate "Essential RoadRunner HIPPI PCI adapter support (EXPERIMENTAL)"
2334 depends on HIPPI && PCI
2336 Say Y here if this is your PCI HIPPI network card.
2338 To compile this driver as a module, choose M here: the module
2339 will be called rrunner. If unsure, say N.
2341 config ROADRUNNER_LARGE_RINGS
2342 bool "Use large TX/RX rings (EXPERIMENTAL)"
2343 depends on ROADRUNNER
2345 If you say Y here, the RoadRunner driver will preallocate up to 2 MB
2346 of additional memory to allow for fastest operation, both for
2347 transmitting and receiving. This memory cannot be used by any other
2348 kernel code or by user space programs. Say Y here only if you have
2352 tristate "PLIP (parallel port) support"
2355 PLIP (Parallel Line Internet Protocol) is used to create a
2356 reasonably fast mini network consisting of two (or, rarely, more)
2357 local machines. A PLIP link from a Linux box is a popular means to
2358 install a Linux distribution on a machine which doesn't have a
2359 CD-ROM drive (a minimal system has to be transferred with floppies
2360 first). The kernels on both machines need to have this PLIP option
2361 enabled for this to work.
2363 The PLIP driver has two modes, mode 0 and mode 1. The parallel
2364 ports (the connectors at the computers with 25 holes) are connected
2365 with "null printer" or "Turbo Laplink" cables which can transmit 4
2366 bits at a time (mode 0) or with special PLIP cables, to be used on
2367 bidirectional parallel ports only, which can transmit 8 bits at a
2368 time (mode 1); you can find the wiring of these cables in
2369 <file:Documentation/networking/PLIP.txt>. The cables can be up to
2370 15m long. Mode 0 works also if one of the machines runs DOS/Windows
2371 and has some PLIP software installed, e.g. the Crynwr PLIP packet
2372 driver (<http://oak.oakland.edu/simtel.net/msdos/pktdrvr-pre.html>)
2373 and winsock or NCSA's telnet.
2375 If you want to use PLIP, say Y and read the PLIP mini-HOWTO as well
2376 as the NET-3-HOWTO, both available from
2377 <http://www.tldp.org/docs.html#howto>. Note that the PLIP
2378 protocol has been changed and this PLIP driver won't work together
2379 with the PLIP support in Linux versions 1.0.x. This option enlarges
2380 your kernel by about 8 KB.
2382 To compile this driver as a module, choose M here and read
2383 <file:Documentation/networking/net-modules.txt>. The module will be
2384 called plip. If unsure, say Y or M, in case you buy a laptop
2388 tristate "PPP (point-to-point protocol) support"
2390 PPP (Point to Point Protocol) is a newer and better SLIP. It serves
2391 the same purpose: sending Internet traffic over telephone (and other
2392 serial) lines. Ask your access provider if they support it, because
2393 otherwise you can't use it; most Internet access providers these
2394 days support PPP rather than SLIP.
2396 To use PPP, you need an additional program called pppd as described
2397 in the PPP-HOWTO, available at
2398 <http://www.tldp.org/docs.html#howto>. Make sure that you have
2399 the version of pppd recommended in <file:Documentation/Changes>.
2400 The PPP option enlarges your kernel by about 16 KB.
2402 There are actually two versions of PPP: the traditional PPP for
2403 asynchronous lines, such as regular analog phone lines, and
2404 synchronous PPP which can be used over digital ISDN lines for
2405 example. If you want to use PPP over phone lines or other
2406 asynchronous serial lines, you need to say Y (or M) here and also to
2407 the next option, "PPP support for async serial ports". For PPP over
2408 synchronous lines, you should say Y (or M) here and to "Support
2409 synchronous PPP", below.
2411 If you said Y to "Version information on all symbols" above, then
2412 you cannot compile the PPP driver into the kernel; you can then only
2413 compile it as a module. To compile this driver as a module, choose M
2414 here and read <file:Documentation/networking/net-modules.txt>.
2415 The module will be called ppp_generic.
2417 config PPP_MULTILINK
2418 bool "PPP multilink support (EXPERIMENTAL)"
2419 depends on PPP && EXPERIMENTAL
2421 PPP multilink is a protocol (defined in RFC 1990) which allows you
2422 to combine several (logical or physical) lines into one logical PPP
2423 connection, so that you can utilize your full bandwidth.
2425 This has to be supported at the other end as well and you need a
2426 version of the pppd daemon which understands the multilink protocol.
2431 bool "PPP filtering"
2434 Say Y here if you want to be able to filter the packets passing over
2435 PPP interfaces. This allows you to control which packets count as
2436 activity (i.e. which packets will reset the idle timer or bring up
2437 a demand-dialled link) and which packets are to be dropped entirely.
2438 You need to say Y here if you wish to use the pass-filter and
2439 active-filter options to pppd.
2444 tristate "PPP support for async serial ports"
2448 Say Y (or M) here if you want to be able to use PPP over standard
2449 asynchronous serial ports, such as COM1 or COM2 on a PC. If you use
2450 a modem (not a synchronous or ISDN modem) to contact your ISP, you
2453 To compile this driver as a module, choose M here.
2458 tristate "PPP support for sync tty ports"
2461 Say Y (or M) here if you want to be able to use PPP over synchronous
2462 (HDLC) tty devices, such as the SyncLink adapter. These devices
2463 are often used for high-speed leased lines like T1/E1.
2465 To compile this driver as a module, choose M here.
2468 tristate "PPP Deflate compression"
2473 Support for the Deflate compression method for PPP, which uses the
2474 Deflate algorithm (the same algorithm that gzip uses) to compress
2475 each PPP packet before it is sent over the wire. The machine at the
2476 other end of the PPP link (usually your ISP) has to support the
2477 Deflate compression method as well for this to be useful. Even if
2478 they don't support it, it is safe to say Y here.
2480 To compile this driver as a module, choose M here.
2483 tristate "PPP BSD-Compress compression"
2486 Support for the BSD-Compress compression method for PPP, which uses
2487 the LZW compression method to compress each PPP packet before it is
2488 sent over the wire. The machine at the other end of the PPP link
2489 (usually your ISP) has to support the BSD-Compress compression
2490 method as well for this to be useful. Even if they don't support it,
2491 it is safe to say Y here.
2493 The PPP Deflate compression method ("PPP Deflate compression",
2494 above) is preferable to BSD-Compress, because it compresses better
2497 Note that the BSD compression code will always be compiled as a
2498 module; it is called bsd_comp and will show up in the directory
2499 modules once you have said "make modules". If unsure, say N.
2502 tristate "PPP over Ethernet (EXPERIMENTAL)"
2503 depends on EXPERIMENTAL && PPP
2505 Support for PPP over Ethernet.
2507 This driver requires the latest version of pppd from the CVS
2508 repository at cvs.samba.org. Alternatively, see the
2509 RoaringPenguin package (<http://www.roaringpenguin.com/pppoe>)
2510 which contains instruction on how to use this driver (under
2511 the heading "Kernel mode PPPoE").
2514 tristate "PPP over ATM"
2515 depends on ATM && PPP
2517 Support PPP (Point to Point Protocol) encapsulated in ATM frames.
2518 This implementation does not yet comply with section 8 of RFC2364,
2519 which can lead to bad results if the ATM peer loses state and
2520 changes its encapsulation unilaterally.
2523 tristate "SLIP (serial line) support"
2525 Say Y if you intend to use SLIP or CSLIP (compressed SLIP) to
2526 connect to your Internet service provider or to connect to some
2527 other local Unix box or if you want to configure your Linux box as a
2528 Slip/CSlip server for other people to dial in. SLIP (Serial Line
2529 Internet Protocol) is a protocol used to send Internet traffic over
2530 serial connections such as telephone lines or null modem cables;
2531 nowadays, the protocol PPP is more commonly used for this same
2534 Normally, your access provider has to support SLIP in order for you
2535 to be able to use it, but there is now a SLIP emulator called SLiRP
2536 around (available from
2537 <ftp://ibiblio.org/pub/Linux/system/network/serial/>) which
2538 allows you to use SLIP over a regular dial up shell connection. If
2539 you plan to use SLiRP, make sure to say Y to CSLIP, below. The
2540 NET-3-HOWTO, available from
2541 <http://www.tldp.org/docs.html#howto>, explains how to
2542 configure SLIP. Note that you don't need this option if you just
2543 want to run term (term is a program which gives you almost full
2544 Internet connectivity if you have a regular dial up shell account on
2545 some Internet connected Unix computer. Read
2546 <http://www.bart.nl/~patrickr/term-howto/Term-HOWTO.html>). SLIP
2547 support will enlarge your kernel by about 4 KB. If unsure, say N.
2549 To compile this driver as a module, choose M here and read
2550 <file:Documentation/networking/net-modules.txt>. The module will be
2553 config SLIP_COMPRESSED
2554 bool "CSLIP compressed headers"
2557 This protocol is faster than SLIP because it uses compression on the
2558 TCP/IP headers (not on the data itself), but it has to be supported
2559 on both ends. Ask your access provider if you are not sure and
2560 answer Y, just in case. You will still be able to use plain SLIP. If
2561 you plan to use SLiRP, the SLIP emulator (available from
2562 <ftp://ibiblio.org/pub/Linux/system/network/serial/>) which
2563 allows you to use SLIP over a regular dial up shell connection, you
2564 definitely want to say Y here. The NET-3-HOWTO, available from
2565 <http://www.tldp.org/docs.html#howto>, explains how to configure
2566 CSLIP. This won't enlarge your kernel.
2569 bool "Keepalive and linefill"
2572 Adds additional capabilities to the SLIP driver to support the
2573 RELCOM line fill and keepalive monitoring. Ideal on poor quality
2576 config SLIP_MODE_SLIP6
2577 bool "Six bit SLIP encapsulation"
2580 Just occasionally you may need to run IP over hostile serial
2581 networks that don't pass all control characters or are only seven
2582 bit. Saying Y here adds an extra mode you can use with SLIP:
2583 "slip6". In this mode, SLIP will only send normal ASCII symbols over
2584 the serial device. Naturally, this has to be supported at the other
2585 end of the link as well. It's good enough, for example, to run IP
2586 over the async ports of a Camtec JNT Pad. If unsure, say N.
2589 bool "Fibre Channel driver support"
2590 depends on SCSI && PCI
2592 Fibre Channel is a high speed serial protocol mainly used to connect
2593 large storage devices to the computer; it is compatible with and
2594 intended to replace SCSI.
2596 If you intend to use Fibre Channel, you need to have a Fibre channel
2597 adaptor card in your computer; say Y here and to the driver for your
2598 adaptor below. You also should have said Y to "SCSI support" and
2599 "SCSI generic support".
2602 tristate "Traffic Shaper (EXPERIMENTAL)"
2603 depends on EXPERIMENTAL
2605 The traffic shaper is a virtual network device that allows you to
2606 limit the rate of outgoing data flow over some other network device.
2607 The traffic that you want to slow down can then be routed through
2608 these virtual devices. See
2609 <file:Documentation/networking/shaper.txt> for more information.
2611 An alternative to this traffic shaper is the experimental
2612 Class-Based Queueing (CBQ) scheduling support which you get if you
2613 say Y to "QoS and/or fair queueing" above.
2615 To set up and configure shaper devices, you need the shapecfg
2616 program, available from <ftp://shadow.cabi.net/pub/Linux/> in the
2619 To compile this driver as a module, choose M here: the module
