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
185 or internal device. It is safe to say Y or M here even if your
186 ethernet card lack MII.

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"

294 If you don't have one made for Apollos, you can use one from a PC,
295 except that your Apollo won't be able to boot from it (because the
296 code in the ROM will be for a PC).

1586 bool "Use PIO instead of MMIO"
1590 This instructs the driver to use programmed I/O ports (PIO) instead
1591 of PCI shared memory (MMIO). This can possibly solve some problems
1592 in case your mainboard has memory consistency issues. If unsure,
1595 config 8139TOO_TUNE_TWISTER
1596 bool "Support for uncommon RTL-8139 rev. K (automatic channel equalization)"
1599 This implements a function which might come in handy in case you
1600 are using low quality on long cabling. It is required for RealTek
1601 RTL-8139 revision K boards, and totally unused otherwise. It tries
1602 to match the transceiver to the cable characteristics. This is
1603 experimental since hardly documented by the manufacturer.
1607 bool "Support for older RTL-8129/8130 boards"
1610 This enables support for the older and uncommon RTL-8129 and
1611 RTL-8130 chips, which support MII via an external transceiver,
1612 instead of an internal one. Disabling this option will save some
1613 memory by making the code size smaller. If unsure, say Y.
1615 config 8139_OLD_RX_RESET
1616 bool "Use older RX-reset method"
1619 The 8139too driver was recently updated to contain a more rapid
1620 reset sequence, in the face of severe receive errors. This "new"
1621 RX-reset method should be adequate for all boards. But if you
1622 experience problems, you can enable this option to restore the
1623 old RX-reset behavior. If unsure, say N.

2412 bool "HIPPI driver support (EXPERIMENTAL)"
2413 depends on EXPERIMENTAL && INET && PCI
2415 HIgh Performance Parallel Interface (HIPPI) is a 800Mbit/sec and
2416 1600Mbit/sec dual-simplex switched or point-to-point network. HIPPI
2417 can run over copper (25m) or fiber (300m on multi-mode or 10km on
2418 single-mode). HIPPI networks are commonly used for clusters and to
2419 connect to super computers. If you are connected to a HIPPI network
2420 and have a HIPPI network card in your computer that you want to use
2421 under Linux, say Y here (you must also remember to enable the driver
2422 for your HIPPI card below). Most people will say N here.
2425 tristate "Essential RoadRunner HIPPI PCI adapter support (EXPERIMENTAL)"
2426 depends on HIPPI && PCI
2428 Say Y here if this is your PCI HIPPI network card.
2430 To compile this driver as a module, choose M here: the module
2431 will be called rrunner. If unsure, say N.
2433 config ROADRUNNER_LARGE_RINGS
2434 bool "Use large TX/RX rings (EXPERIMENTAL)"
2435 depends on ROADRUNNER
2437 If you say Y here, the RoadRunner driver will preallocate up to 2 MB
2438 of additional memory to allow for fastest operation, both for
2439 transmitting and receiving. This memory cannot be used by any other
2440 kernel code or by user space programs. Say Y here only if you have
2444 tristate "PLIP (parallel port) support"
2447 PLIP (Parallel Line Internet Protocol) is used to create a
2448 reasonably fast mini network consisting of two (or, rarely, more)
2449 local machines. A PLIP link from a Linux box is a popular means to
2450 install a Linux distribution on a machine which doesn't have a
2451 CD-ROM drive (a minimal system has to be transferred with floppies
2452 first). The kernels on both machines need to have this PLIP option
2453 enabled for this to work.
2455 The PLIP driver has two modes, mode 0 and mode 1. The parallel
2456 ports (the connectors at the computers with 25 holes) are connected
2457 with "null printer" or "Turbo Laplink" cables which can transmit 4
2458 bits at a time (mode 0) or with special PLIP cables, to be used on
2459 bidirectional parallel ports only, which can transmit 8 bits at a
2460 time (mode 1); you can find the wiring of these cables in
2461 <file:Documentation/networking/PLIP.txt>. The cables can be up to
2462 15m long. Mode 0 works also if one of the machines runs DOS/Windows
2463 and has some PLIP software installed, e.g. the Crynwr PLIP packet
2464 driver (<http://oak.oakland.edu/simtel.net/msdos/pktdrvr-pre.html>)
2465 and winsock or NCSA's telnet.
2467 If you want to use PLIP, say Y and read the PLIP mini-HOWTO as well
2468 as the NET-3-HOWTO, both available from
2469 <http://www.tldp.org/docs.html#howto>. Note that the PLIP
2470 protocol has been changed and this PLIP driver won't work together
2471 with the PLIP support in Linux versions 1.0.x. This option enlarges
2472 your kernel by about 8 KB.
2474 To compile this driver as a module, choose M here and read
2475 <file:Documentation/networking/net-modules.txt>. The module will be
2476 called plip. If unsure, say Y or M, in case you buy a laptop
2480 tristate "PPP (point-to-point protocol) support"
2482 PPP (Point to Point Protocol) is a newer and better SLIP. It serves
2483 the same purpose: sending Internet traffic over telephone (and other
2484 serial) lines. Ask your access provider if they support it, because
2485 otherwise you can't use it; most Internet access providers these
2486 days support PPP rather than SLIP.
2488 To use PPP, you need an additional program called pppd as described
2489 in the PPP-HOWTO, available at
2490 <http://www.tldp.org/docs.html#howto>. Make sure that you have
2491 the version of pppd recommended in <file:Documentation/Changes>.
2492 The PPP option enlarges your kernel by about 16 KB.
2494 There are actually two versions of PPP: the traditional PPP for
2495 asynchronous lines, such as regular analog phone lines, and
2496 synchronous PPP which can be used over digital ISDN lines for
2497 example. If you want to use PPP over phone lines or other
2498 asynchronous serial lines, you need to say Y (or M) here and also to
2499 the next option, "PPP support for async serial ports". For PPP over
2500 synchronous lines, you should say Y (or M) here and to "Support
2501 synchronous PPP", below.
2503 If you said Y to "Version information on all symbols" above, then
2504 you cannot compile the PPP driver into the kernel; you can then only
2505 compile it as a module. To compile this driver as a module, choose M
2506 here and read <file:Documentation/networking/net-modules.txt>.
2507 The module will be called ppp_generic.
2509 config PPP_MULTILINK
2510 bool "PPP multilink support (EXPERIMENTAL)"
2511 depends on PPP && EXPERIMENTAL
2513 PPP multilink is a protocol (defined in RFC 1990) which allows you
2514 to combine several (logical or physical) lines into one logical PPP
2515 connection, so that you can utilize your full bandwidth.
2517 This has to be supported at the other end as well and you need a
2518 version of the pppd daemon which understands the multilink protocol.
2523 bool "PPP filtering"
2526 Say Y here if you want to be able to filter the packets passing over
2527 PPP interfaces. This allows you to control which packets count as
2528 activity (i.e. which packets will reset the idle timer or bring up
2529 a demand-dialed link) and which packets are to be dropped entirely.
2530 You need to say Y here if you wish to use the pass-filter and
2531 active-filter options to pppd.
2536 tristate "PPP support for async serial ports"
2540 Say Y (or M) here if you want to be able to use PPP over standard
2541 asynchronous serial ports, such as COM1 or COM2 on a PC. If you use
2542 a modem (not a synchronous or ISDN modem) to contact your ISP, you
2545 To compile this driver as a module, choose M here.
2550 tristate "PPP support for sync tty ports"
2553 Say Y (or M) here if you want to be able to use PPP over synchronous
2554 (HDLC) tty devices, such as the SyncLink adapter. These devices
2555 are often used for high-speed leased lines like T1/E1.
2557 To compile this driver as a module, choose M here.
2560 tristate "PPP Deflate compression"
2565 Support for the Deflate compression method for PPP, which uses the
2566 Deflate algorithm (the same algorithm that gzip uses) to compress
2567 each PPP packet before it is sent over the wire. The machine at the
2568 other end of the PPP link (usually your ISP) has to support the
2569 Deflate compression method as well for this to be useful. Even if
2570 they don't support it, it is safe to say Y here.
2572 To compile this driver as a module, choose M here.
2575 tristate "PPP BSD-Compress compression"
2578 Support for the BSD-Compress compression method for PPP, which uses
2579 the LZW compression method to compress each PPP packet before it is
2580 sent over the wire. The machine at the other end of the PPP link
2581 (usually your ISP) has to support the BSD-Compress compression
2582 method as well for this to be useful. Even if they don't support it,
2583 it is safe to say Y here.
2585 The PPP Deflate compression method ("PPP Deflate compression",
2586 above) is preferable to BSD-Compress, because it compresses better
2589 Note that the BSD compression code will always be compiled as a
2590 module; it is called bsd_comp and will show up in the directory
2591 modules once you have said "make modules". If unsure, say N.
2594 tristate "PPP MPPE compression (encryption) (EXPERIMENTAL)"
2595 depends on PPP && EXPERIMENTAL
2600 Support for the MPPE Encryption protocol, as employed by the
2601 Microsoft Point-to-Point Tunneling Protocol.
2603 See http://pptpclient.sourceforge.net/ for information on
2604 configuring PPTP clients and servers to utilize this method.
2607 tristate "PPP over Ethernet (EXPERIMENTAL)"
2608 depends on EXPERIMENTAL && PPP
2610 Support for PPP over Ethernet.
2612 This driver requires the latest version of pppd from the CVS
2613 repository at cvs.samba.org. Alternatively, see the
2614 RoaringPenguin package (<http://www.roaringpenguin.com/pppoe>)
2615 which contains instruction on how to use this driver (under
2616 the heading "Kernel mode PPPoE").
2619 tristate "PPP over ATM"
2620 depends on ATM && PPP
2622 Support PPP (Point to Point Protocol) encapsulated in ATM frames.
2623 This implementation does not yet comply with section 8 of RFC2364,
2624 which can lead to bad results if the ATM peer loses state and
2625 changes its encapsulation unilaterally.
2628 tristate "SLIP (serial line) support"
2630 Say Y if you intend to use SLIP or CSLIP (compressed SLIP) to
2631 connect to your Internet service provider or to connect to some
2632 other local Unix box or if you want to configure your Linux box as a
2633 Slip/CSlip server for other people to dial in. SLIP (Serial Line
2634 Internet Protocol) is a protocol used to send Internet traffic over
2635 serial connections such as telephone lines or null modem cables;
2636 nowadays, the protocol PPP is more commonly used for this same
2639 Normally, your access provider has to support SLIP in order for you
2640 to be able to use it, but there is now a SLIP emulator called SLiRP
2641 around (available from
2642 <ftp://ibiblio.org/pub/Linux/system/network/serial/>) which
2643 allows you to use SLIP over a regular dial up shell connection. If
2644 you plan to use SLiRP, make sure to say Y to CSLIP, below. The
2645 NET-3-HOWTO, available from
2646 <http://www.tldp.org/docs.html#howto>, explains how to
2647 configure SLIP. Note that you don't need this option if you just
2648 want to run term (term is a program which gives you almost full
2649 Internet connectivity if you have a regular dial up shell account on
2650 some Internet connected Unix computer. Read
2651 <http://www.bart.nl/~patrickr/term-howto/Term-HOWTO.html>). SLIP
2652 support will enlarge your kernel by about 4 KB. If unsure, say N.
2654 To compile this driver as a module, choose M here and read
2655 <file:Documentation/networking/net-modules.txt>. The module will be
2658 config SLIP_COMPRESSED
2659 bool "CSLIP compressed headers"
2662 This protocol is faster than SLIP because it uses compression on the
2663 TCP/IP headers (not on the data itself), but it has to be supported
2664 on both ends. Ask your access provider if you are not sure and
2665 answer Y, just in case. You will still be able to use plain SLIP. If
2666 you plan to use SLiRP, the SLIP emulator (available from
2667 <ftp://ibiblio.org/pub/Linux/system/network/serial/>) which
2668 allows you to use SLIP over a regular dial up shell connection, you
2669 definitely want to say Y here. The NET-3-HOWTO, available from
2670 <http://www.tldp.org/docs.html#howto>, explains how to configure
2671 CSLIP. This won't enlarge your kernel.
2674 bool "Keepalive and linefill"
2677 Adds additional capabilities to the SLIP driver to support the
2678 RELCOM line fill and keepalive monitoring. Ideal on poor quality
2681 config SLIP_MODE_SLIP6
2682 bool "Six bit SLIP encapsulation"
2685 Just occasionally you may need to run IP over hostile serial
2686 networks that don't pass all control characters or are only seven
2687 bit. Saying Y here adds an extra mode you can use with SLIP:
2688 "slip6". In this mode, SLIP will only send normal ASCII symbols over
2689 the serial device. Naturally, this has to be supported at the other
2690 end of the link as well. It's good enough, for example, to run IP
2691 over the async ports of a Camtec JNT Pad. If unsure, say N.
2694 bool "Fibre Channel driver support"
2695 depends on SCSI && PCI
2697 Fibre Channel is a high speed serial protocol mainly used to connect
2698 large storage devices to the computer; it is compatible with and
2699 intended to replace SCSI.
2701 If you intend to use Fibre Channel, you need to have a Fibre channel
2702 adaptor card in your computer; say Y here and to the driver for your
2703 adaptor below. You also should have said Y to "SCSI support" and
2704 "SCSI generic support".
2707 tristate "Traffic Shaper (EXPERIMENTAL)"
2708 depends on EXPERIMENTAL
2710 The traffic shaper is a virtual network device that allows you to
2711 limit the rate of outgoing data flow over some other network device.
2712 The traffic that you want to slow down can then be routed through
2713 these virtual devices. See
2714 <file:Documentation/networking/shaper.txt> for more information.
2716 An alternative to this traffic shaper is the experimental
2717 Class-Based Queuing (CBQ) scheduling support which you get if you
2718 say Y to "QoS and/or fair queuing" above.
2720 To compile this driver as a module, choose M here: the module
2721 will be called shaper. If unsure, say N.
2724 tristate "Network console logging support (EXPERIMENTAL)"
2725 depends on EXPERIMENTAL
2727 If you want to log kernel messages over the network, enable this.
2728 See <file:Documentation/networking/netconsole.txt> for details.
2734 bool "Netpoll support for trapping incoming packets"
2739 bool "Netpoll traffic trapping"
2743 config NET_POLL_CONTROLLER
