2 # Tulip family network device configuration
6 bool "\"Tulip\" family network device support"
7 depends on PCI || EISA || CARDBUS
9 This selects the "Tulip" family of EISA/PCI network cards.
14 tristate "Early DECchip Tulip (dc2104x) PCI support (EXPERIMENTAL)"
15 depends on PCI && EXPERIMENTAL
18 This driver is developed for the SMC EtherPower series Ethernet
19 cards and also works with cards based on the DECchip
20 21040 (Tulip series) chips. Some LinkSys PCI cards are
21 of this type. (If your card is NOT SMC EtherPower 10/100 PCI
22 (smc9332dst), you can also try the driver for "Generic DECchip"
23 cards, below. However, most people with a network card of this type
24 will say Y here.) Do read the Ethernet-HOWTO, available from
25 <http://www.tldp.org/docs.html#howto>.

32 tristate "DECchip Tulip (dc2114x) PCI support"
36 This driver is developed for the SMC EtherPower series Ethernet
37 cards and also works with cards based on the DECchip
38 21140 (Tulip series) chips. Some LinkSys PCI cards are
39 of this type. (If your card is NOT SMC EtherPower 10/100 PCI
40 (smc9332dst), you can also try the driver for "Generic DECchip"
41 cards, above. However, most people with a network card of this type
42 will say Y here.) Do read the Ethernet-HOWTO, available from

50 bool "New bus configuration (EXPERIMENTAL)"
51 depends on TULIP && EXPERIMENTAL
53 This configures your Tulip card specifically for the card and
54 system cache line size type you are using.
56 This is experimental code, not yet tested on many boards.
61 bool "Use PCI shared mem for NIC registers"
64 Use PCI shared memory for the NIC registers, rather than going through
65 the Tulip's PIO (programmed I/O ports). Faster, but could produce
66 obscure bugs if your mainboard has memory controller timing issues.
70 bool "Use NAPI RX polling "
73 NAPI is a new driver API designed to reduce CPU and interrupt load
74 when the driver is receiving lots of packets from the card. It is
75 still somewhat experimental and thus not yet enabled by default.
77 If your estimated Rx load is 10kpps or more, or if the card will be
78 deployed on potentially unfriendly networks (e.g. in a firewall),
81 See <file:Documentation/networking/NAPI_HOWTO.txt> for more
86 config TULIP_NAPI_HW_MITIGATION
87 bool "Use Interrupt Mitigation "
90 Use HW to reduce RX interrupts. Not strict necessary since NAPI reduces
91 RX interrupts but itself. Although this reduces RX interrupts even at
92 low levels traffic at the cost of a small latency.
97 tristate "Generic DECchip & DIGITAL EtherWORKS PCI/EISA"
98 depends on PCI || EISA
101 This is support for the DIGITAL series of PCI/EISA Ethernet cards.
102 These include the DE425, DE434, DE435, DE450 and DE500 models. If
103 you have a network card of this type, say Y and read the
104 Ethernet-HOWTO, available from
105 <http://www.tldp.org/docs.html#howto>. More specific
106 information is contained in

114 tristate "Winbond W89c840 Ethernet support"
119 This driver is for the Winbond W89c840 chip. It also works with
120 the TX9882 chip on the Compex RL100-ATX board.
121 More specific information and updates are available from
122 <http://www.scyld.com/network/drivers.html>.
125 tristate "Davicom DM910x/DM980x support"
129 This driver is for DM9102(A)/DM9132/DM9801 compatible PCI cards from
130 Davicom (<http://www.davicom.com.tw/>). If you have such a network
131 (Ethernet) card, say Y. Some information is contained in the file

143 This driver is for ULi M5261/M5263 10/100M Ethernet Controller
144 (<http://www.uli.com.tw/>).

151 tristate "Xircom CardBus support (new driver)"
154 This driver is for the Digital "Tulip" Ethernet CardBus adapters.
155 It should work with most DEC 21*4*-based chips/ethercards, as well
156 as with work-alike chips from Lite-On (PNIC) and Macronix (MXIC) and
159 To compile this driver as a module, choose M here and read
160 <file:Documentation/networking/net-modules.txt>. The module will
161 be called xircom_cb. If unsure, say N.

165 depends on CARDBUS && BROKEN_ON_SMP
168 This driver is for the Digital "Tulip" Ethernet CardBus adapters.
169 It should work with most DEC 21*4*-based chips/ethercards, as well
