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.

36 To compile this driver as a module, choose M here: the module
37 will be called ifb. If you want to use more than one ifb
38 device at a time, you need to compile this driver as a module.
39 Instead of 'ifb', the devices will then be called 'ifb0',
41 Look at the iproute2 documentation directory for usage etc
44 tristate "Dummy net driver support"
46 This is essentially a bit-bucket device (i.e. traffic you send to
47 this device is consigned into oblivion) with a configurable IP
48 address. It is most commonly used in order to make your currently
49 inactive SLIP address seem like a real address for local programs.
50 If you use SLIP or PPP, you might want to say Y here. Since this
51 thing often comes in handy, the default is Y. It won't enlarge your
52 kernel either. What a deal. Read about it in the Network
53 Administrator's Guide, available from
54 <http://www.tldp.org/docs.html#guide>.
56 To compile this driver as a module, choose M here: the module
57 will be called dummy. If you want to use more than one dummy
58 device at a time, you need to compile this driver as a module.
59 Instead of 'dummy', the devices will then be called 'dummy0',
63 tristate "Bonding driver support"
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 perfomance 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 "EQL (serial line load balancing) support"
82 If you have two serial connections to some other computer (this
83 usually requires two modems and two telephone lines) and you use
84 SLIP (the protocol for sending Internet traffic over telephone
85 lines) or PPP (a better SLIP) on them, you can make them behave like
86 one double speed connection using this driver. Naturally, this has
87 to be supported at the other end as well, either with a similar EQL
88 Linux driver or with a Livingston Portmaster 2e.
90 Say Y if you want this and read
91 <file:Documentation/networking/eql.txt>. You may also want to read
92 section 6.2 of the NET-3-HOWTO, available from
93 <http://www.tldp.org/docs.html#howto>.
95 To compile this driver as a module, choose M here: the module
96 will be called eql. If unsure, say N.
99 tristate "Universal TUN/TAP device driver support"
102 TUN/TAP provides packet reception and transmission for user space
103 programs. It can be viewed as a simple Point-to-Point or Ethernet
104 device, which instead of receiving packets from a physical media,
105 receives them from user space program and instead of sending packets
106 via physical media writes them to the user space program.
108 When a program opens /dev/net/tun, driver creates and registers
109 corresponding net device tunX or tapX. After a program closed above
110 devices, driver will automatically delete tunXX or tapXX device and
111 all routes corresponding to it.
113 Please read <file:Documentation/networking/tuntap.txt> for more
116 To compile this driver as a module, choose M here: the module
119 If you don't know what to use this for, you don't need it.
122 tristate "General Instruments Surfboard 1000"
125 This is a driver for the General Instrument (also known as
126 NextLevel) SURFboard 1000 internal
127 cable modem. This is an ISA card which is used by a number of cable
128 TV companies to provide cable modem access. It's a one-way
129 downstream-only cable modem, meaning that your upstream net link is
130 provided by your regular phone modem.
132 At present this driver only compiles as a module, so say M here if
133 you have this card. The module will be called sb1000. Then read
134 <file:Documentation/networking/README.sb1000> for information on how
135 to use this module, as it needs special ppp scripts for establishing
136 a connection. Further documentation and the necessary scripts can be

159 Ethernet (also called IEEE 802.3 or ISO 8802-2) is the most common
160 type of Local Area Network (LAN) in universities and companies.
162 Common varieties of Ethernet are: 10BASE-2 or Thinnet (10 Mbps over
163 coaxial cable, linking computers in a chain), 10BASE-T or twisted
164 pair (10 Mbps over twisted pair cable, linking computers to central
165 hubs), 10BASE-F (10 Mbps over optical fiber links, using hubs),
166 100BASE-TX (100 Mbps over two twisted pair cables, using hubs),
167 100BASE-T4 (100 Mbps over 4 standard voice-grade twisted pair
168 cables, using hubs), 100BASE-FX (100 Mbps over optical fiber links)
169 [the 100BASE varieties are also known as Fast Ethernet], and Gigabit
170 Ethernet (1 Gbps over optical fiber or short copper links).
172 If your Linux machine will be connected to an Ethernet and you have
173 an Ethernet network interface card (NIC) installed in your computer,
174 say Y here and read the Ethernet-HOWTO, available from
175 <http://www.tldp.org/docs.html#howto>. You will then also have
176 to say Y to the driver for your particular NIC.

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

210 instead of an 8-pin RJ45 connector for twisted-pair ethernet. Say
211 Y here if you have such a machine. If unsure, say N.
212 The driver will default to AAUI on ANS anyway, and if you use it as

1571 bool "Use PIO instead of MMIO"
1575 This instructs the driver to use programmed I/O ports (PIO) instead
1576 of PCI shared memory (MMIO). This can possibly solve some problems
1577 in case your mainboard has memory consistency issues. If unsure,
1580 config 8139TOO_TUNE_TWISTER
1581 bool "Support for uncommon RTL-8139 rev. K (automatic channel equalization)"
1584 This implements a function which might come in handy in case you
1585 are using low quality on long cabling. It is required for RealTek
1586 RTL-8139 revision K boards, and totally unused otherwise. It tries
1587 to match the transceiver to the cable characteristics. This is
1588 experimental since hardly documented by the manufacturer.
1592 bool "Support for older RTL-8129/8130 boards"
1595 This enables support for the older and uncommon RTL-8129 and
1596 RTL-8130 chips, which support MII via an external transceiver,
1597 instead of an internal one. Disabling this option will save some
1598 memory by making the code size smaller. If unsure, say Y.

1601 bool "Use older RX-reset method"
1604 The 8139too driver was recently updated to contain a more rapid
1605 reset sequence, in the face of severe receive errors. This "new"
1606 RX-reset method should be adequate for all boards. But if you

2326 design; essentially a replacement for high speed Ethernet. FDDI can
2327 run over copper or fiber. If you are connected to such a network and

2368 will be called skfp. This is recommended.
2371 bool "HIPPI driver support (EXPERIMENTAL)"
2372 depends on EXPERIMENTAL && INET && PCI
2374 HIgh Performance Parallel Interface (HIPPI) is a 800Mbit/sec and
2375 1600Mbit/sec dual-simplex switched or point-to-point network. HIPPI
2376 can run over copper (25m) or fiber (300m on multi-mode or 10km on
2377 single-mode). HIPPI networks are commonly used for clusters and to
2378 connect to super computers. If you are connected to a HIPPI network
2379 and have a HIPPI network card in your computer that you want to use
2380 under Linux, say Y here (you must also remember to enable the driver
2381 for your HIPPI card below). Most people will say N here.
2384 tristate "Essential RoadRunner HIPPI PCI adapter support (EXPERIMENTAL)"
2385 depends on HIPPI && PCI
2387 Say Y here if this is your PCI HIPPI network card.
2389 To compile this driver as a module, choose M here: the module
2390 will be called rrunner. If unsure, say N.
2392 config ROADRUNNER_LARGE_RINGS
2393 bool "Use large TX/RX rings (EXPERIMENTAL)"
2394 depends on ROADRUNNER
2396 If you say Y here, the RoadRunner driver will preallocate up to 2 MB
2397 of additional memory to allow for fastest operation, both for
2398 transmitting and receiving. This memory cannot be used by any other
2399 kernel code or by user space programs. Say Y here only if you have
2403 tristate "PLIP (parallel port) support"
2406 PLIP (Parallel Line Internet Protocol) is used to create a
2407 reasonably fast mini network consisting of two (or, rarely, more)
2408 local machines. A PLIP link from a Linux box is a popular means to
2409 install a Linux distribution on a machine which doesn't have a
2410 CD-ROM drive (a minimal system has to be transferred with floppies
2411 first). The kernels on both machines need to have this PLIP option
2412 enabled for this to work.
2414 The PLIP driver has two modes, mode 0 and mode 1. The parallel
2415 ports (the connectors at the computers with 25 holes) are connected
2416 with "null printer" or "Turbo Laplink" cables which can transmit 4
2417 bits at a time (mode 0) or with special PLIP cables, to be used on
2418 bidirectional parallel ports only, which can transmit 8 bits at a
2419 time (mode 1); you can find the wiring of these cables in
2420 <file:Documentation/networking/PLIP.txt>. The cables can be up to
2421 15m long. Mode 0 works also if one of the machines runs DOS/Windows
2422 and has some PLIP software installed, e.g. the Crynwr PLIP packet
2423 driver (<http://oak.oakland.edu/simtel.net/msdos/pktdrvr-pre.html>)
2424 and winsock or NCSA's telnet.
2426 If you want to use PLIP, say Y and read the PLIP mini-HOWTO as well
2427 as the NET-3-HOWTO, both available from
2428 <http://www.tldp.org/docs.html#howto>. Note that the PLIP
2429 protocol has been changed and this PLIP driver won't work together
2430 with the PLIP support in Linux versions 1.0.x. This option enlarges
2431 your kernel by about 8 KB.
2433 To compile this driver as a module, choose M here and read
2434 <file:Documentation/networking/net-modules.txt>. The module will be
2435 called plip. If unsure, say Y or M, in case you buy a laptop
2439 tristate "PPP (point-to-point protocol) support"
2441 PPP (Point to Point Protocol) is a newer and better SLIP. It serves
2442 the same purpose: sending Internet traffic over telephone (and other
2443 serial) lines. Ask your access provider if they support it, because
2444 otherwise you can't use it; most Internet access providers these
2445 days support PPP rather than SLIP.
2447 To use PPP, you need an additional program called pppd as described
2448 in the PPP-HOWTO, available at
2449 <http://www.tldp.org/docs.html#howto>. Make sure that you have
2450 the version of pppd recommended in <file:Documentation/Changes>.
2451 The PPP option enlarges your kernel by about 16 KB.
2453 There are actually two versions of PPP: the traditional PPP for
2454 asynchronous lines, such as regular analog phone lines, and
2455 synchronous PPP which can be used over digital ISDN lines for
2456 example. If you want to use PPP over phone lines or other
2457 asynchronous serial lines, you need to say Y (or M) here and also to
2458 the next option, "PPP support for async serial ports". For PPP over
2459 synchronous lines, you should say Y (or M) here and to "Support
2460 synchronous PPP", below.
2462 If you said Y to "Version information on all symbols" above, then
2463 you cannot compile the PPP driver into the kernel; you can then only
2464 compile it as a module. To compile this driver as a module, choose M
2465 here and read <file:Documentation/networking/net-modules.txt>.
2466 The module will be called ppp_generic.
2468 config PPP_MULTILINK
2469 bool "PPP multilink support (EXPERIMENTAL)"
2470 depends on PPP && EXPERIMENTAL
2472 PPP multilink is a protocol (defined in RFC 1990) which allows you
2473 to combine several (logical or physical) lines into one logical PPP
2474 connection, so that you can utilize your full bandwidth.
2476 This has to be supported at the other end as well and you need a
2477 version of the pppd daemon which understands the multilink protocol.
2482 bool "PPP filtering"
2485 Say Y here if you want to be able to filter the packets passing over
2486 PPP interfaces. This allows you to control which packets count as
2487 activity (i.e. which packets will reset the idle timer or bring up
2488 a demand-dialled link) and which packets are to be dropped entirely.
2489 You need to say Y here if you wish to use the pass-filter and
2490 active-filter options to pppd.
2495 tristate "PPP support for async serial ports"
2499 Say Y (or M) here if you want to be able to use PPP over standard
2500 asynchronous serial ports, such as COM1 or COM2 on a PC. If you use
2501 a modem (not a synchronous or ISDN modem) to contact your ISP, you
2504 To compile this driver as a module, choose M here.
2509 tristate "PPP support for sync tty ports"
2512 Say Y (or M) here if you want to be able to use PPP over synchronous
2513 (HDLC) tty devices, such as the SyncLink adapter. These devices
2514 are often used for high-speed leased lines like T1/E1.
2516 To compile this driver as a module, choose M here.
2519 tristate "PPP Deflate compression"
2524 Support for the Deflate compression method for PPP, which uses the
2525 Deflate algorithm (the same algorithm that gzip uses) to compress
2526 each PPP packet before it is sent over the wire. The machine at the
2527 other end of the PPP link (usually your ISP) has to support the
2528 Deflate compression method as well for this to be useful. Even if
2529 they don't support it, it is safe to say Y here.
2531 To compile this driver as a module, choose M here.
2534 tristate "PPP BSD-Compress compression"
2537 Support for the BSD-Compress compression method for PPP, which uses
2538 the LZW compression method to compress each PPP packet before it is
2539 sent over the wire. The machine at the other end of the PPP link
2540 (usually your ISP) has to support the BSD-Compress compression
2541 method as well for this to be useful. Even if they don't support it,
2542 it is safe to say Y here.
2544 The PPP Deflate compression method ("PPP Deflate compression",
2545 above) is preferable to BSD-Compress, because it compresses better
2548 Note that the BSD compression code will always be compiled as a
2549 module; it is called bsd_comp and will show up in the directory
2550 modules once you have said "make modules". If unsure, say N.
2553 tristate "PPP MPPE compression (encryption) (EXPERIMENTAL)"
2554 depends on PPP && EXPERIMENTAL
2559 Support for the MPPE Encryption protocol, as employed by the
2560 Microsoft Point-to-Point Tunneling Protocol.
2562 See http://pptpclient.sourceforge.net/ for information on
2563 configuring PPTP clients and servers to utilize this method.
2566 tristate "PPP over Ethernet (EXPERIMENTAL)"
2567 depends on EXPERIMENTAL && PPP
2569 Support for PPP over Ethernet.
2571 This driver requires the latest version of pppd from the CVS
2572 repository at cvs.samba.org. Alternatively, see the
2573 RoaringPenguin package (<http://www.roaringpenguin.com/pppoe>)
2574 which contains instruction on how to use this driver (under
2575 the heading "Kernel mode PPPoE").
2578 tristate "PPP over ATM"
2579 depends on ATM && PPP
2581 Support PPP (Point to Point Protocol) encapsulated in ATM frames.
2582 This implementation does not yet comply with section 8 of RFC2364,
2583 which can lead to bad results if the ATM peer loses state and
2584 changes its encapsulation unilaterally.
2587 tristate "SLIP (serial line) support"
2589 Say Y if you intend to use SLIP or CSLIP (compressed SLIP) to
2590 connect to your Internet service provider or to connect to some
2591 other local Unix box or if you want to configure your Linux box as a
2592 Slip/CSlip server for other people to dial in. SLIP (Serial Line
2593 Internet Protocol) is a protocol used to send Internet traffic over
2594 serial connections such as telephone lines or null modem cables;
2595 nowadays, the protocol PPP is more commonly used for this same
2598 Normally, your access provider has to support SLIP in order for you
2599 to be able to use it, but there is now a SLIP emulator called SLiRP
2600 around (available from
2601 <ftp://ibiblio.org/pub/Linux/system/network/serial/>) which
2602 allows you to use SLIP over a regular dial up shell connection. If
2603 you plan to use SLiRP, make sure to say Y to CSLIP, below. The
2604 NET-3-HOWTO, available from
2605 <http://www.tldp.org/docs.html#howto>, explains how to
2606 configure SLIP. Note that you don't need this option if you just
2607 want to run term (term is a program which gives you almost full
2608 Internet connectivity if you have a regular dial up shell account on
2609 some Internet connected Unix computer. Read
2610 <http://www.bart.nl/~patrickr/term-howto/Term-HOWTO.html>). SLIP
2611 support will enlarge your kernel by about 4 KB. If unsure, say N.
2613 To compile this driver as a module, choose M here and read
2614 <file:Documentation/networking/net-modules.txt>. The module will be
2617 config SLIP_COMPRESSED
2618 bool "CSLIP compressed headers"
2621 This protocol is faster than SLIP because it uses compression on the
2622 TCP/IP headers (not on the data itself), but it has to be supported
2623 on both ends. Ask your access provider if you are not sure and
2624 answer Y, just in case. You will still be able to use plain SLIP. If
2625 you plan to use SLiRP, the SLIP emulator (available from
2626 <ftp://ibiblio.org/pub/Linux/system/network/serial/>) which
2627 allows you to use SLIP over a regular dial up shell connection, you
2628 definitely want to say Y here. The NET-3-HOWTO, available from
2629 <http://www.tldp.org/docs.html#howto>, explains how to configure
2630 CSLIP. This won't enlarge your kernel.
2633 bool "Keepalive and linefill"
2636 Adds additional capabilities to the SLIP driver to support the
2637 RELCOM line fill and keepalive monitoring. Ideal on poor quality
2640 config SLIP_MODE_SLIP6
2641 bool "Six bit SLIP encapsulation"
2644 Just occasionally you may need to run IP over hostile serial
2645 networks that don't pass all control characters or are only seven
2646 bit. Saying Y here adds an extra mode you can use with SLIP:
2647 "slip6". In this mode, SLIP will only send normal ASCII symbols over
2648 the serial device. Naturally, this has to be supported at the other
2649 end of the link as well. It's good enough, for example, to run IP
2650 over the async ports of a Camtec JNT Pad. If unsure, say N.
2653 bool "Fibre Channel driver support"
2654 depends on SCSI && PCI
2656 Fibre Channel is a high speed serial protocol mainly used to connect
2657 large storage devices to the computer; it is compatible with and
2658 intended to replace SCSI.
2660 If you intend to use Fibre Channel, you need to have a Fibre channel
2661 adaptor card in your computer; say Y here and to the driver for your
2662 adaptor below. You also should have said Y to "SCSI support" and
2663 "SCSI generic support".
2666 tristate "Traffic Shaper (EXPERIMENTAL)"
2667 depends on EXPERIMENTAL
2669 The traffic shaper is a virtual network device that allows you to
2670 limit the rate of outgoing data flow over some other network device.
2671 The traffic that you want to slow down can then be routed through
2672 these virtual devices. See
2673 <file:Documentation/networking/shaper.txt> for more information.
2675 An alternative to this traffic shaper is the experimental
2676 Class-Based Queueing (CBQ) scheduling support which you get if you
2677 say Y to "QoS and/or fair queueing" above.
2679 To set up and configure shaper devices, you need the shapecfg
2680 program, available from <ftp://shadow.cabi.net/pub/Linux/> in the
2683 To compile this driver as a module, choose M here: the module
2684 will be called shaper. If unsure, say N.
2687 tristate "Network console logging support (EXPERIMENTAL)"
2688 depends on EXPERIMENTAL
2690 If you want to log kernel messages over the network, enable this.
2691 See <file:Documentation/networking/netconsole.txt> for details.
