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

30 bool "Netdevice multiple hardware queue support"
32 Say Y here if you want to allow the network stack to use multiple
33 hardware TX queues on an ethernet device.
35 Most people will say N here.
38 tristate "Intermediate Functional Block support"
39 depends on NET_CLS_ACT
41 This is an intermediate driver that allows sharing of
43 To compile this driver as a module, choose M here: the module
44 will be called ifb. If you want to use more than one ifb
45 device at a time, you need to compile this driver as a module.
46 Instead of 'ifb', the devices will then be called 'ifb0',
48 Look at the iproute2 documentation directory for usage etc
51 tristate "Dummy net driver support"
53 This is essentially a bit-bucket device (i.e. traffic you send to
54 this device is consigned into oblivion) with a configurable IP
55 address. It is most commonly used in order to make your currently
56 inactive SLIP address seem like a real address for local programs.
57 If you use SLIP or PPP, you might want to say Y here. Since this
58 thing often comes in handy, the default is Y. It won't enlarge your
59 kernel either. What a deal. Read about it in the Network
60 Administrator's Guide, available from
61 <http://www.tldp.org/docs.html#guide>.
63 To compile this driver as a module, choose M here: the module
64 will be called dummy. If you want to use more than one dummy
65 device at a time, you need to compile this driver as a module.
66 Instead of 'dummy', the devices will then be called 'dummy0',
70 tristate "Bonding driver support"
73 Say 'Y' or 'M' if you wish to be able to 'bond' multiple Ethernet
74 Channels together. This is called 'Etherchannel' by Cisco,
75 'Trunking' by Sun, 802.3ad by the IEEE, and 'Bonding' in Linux.
77 The driver supports multiple bonding modes to allow for both high
78 performance and high availability operation.
80 Refer to <file:Documentation/networking/bonding.txt> for more
83 To compile this driver as a module, choose M here: the module
84 will be called bonding.

91 or from specific MAC addresses to a particular interface.
93 To compile this driver as a module, choose M here: the module
94 will be called macvlan.
97 tristate "EQL (serial line load balancing) support"
99 If you have two serial connections to some other computer (this
100 usually requires two modems and two telephone lines) and you use
101 SLIP (the protocol for sending Internet traffic over telephone
102 lines) or PPP (a better SLIP) on them, you can make them behave like
103 one double speed connection using this driver. Naturally, this has
104 to be supported at the other end as well, either with a similar EQL
105 Linux driver or with a Livingston Portmaster 2e.
107 Say Y if you want this and read
108 <file:Documentation/networking/eql.txt>. You may also want to read
109 section 6.2 of the NET-3-HOWTO, available from

113 will be called eql. If unsure, say N.
116 tristate "Universal TUN/TAP device driver support"
119 TUN/TAP provides packet reception and transmission for user space
120 programs. It can be viewed as a simple Point-to-Point or Ethernet
121 device, which instead of receiving packets from a physical media,
122 receives them from user space program and instead of sending packets
123 via physical media writes them to the user space program.
125 When a program opens /dev/net/tun, driver creates and registers
126 corresponding net device tunX or tapX. After a program closed above
127 devices, driver will automatically delete tunXX or tapXX device and
128 all routes corresponding to it.
130 Please read <file:Documentation/networking/tuntap.txt> for more
133 To compile this driver as a module, choose M here: the module
136 If you don't know what to use this for, you don't need it.

142 This is a driver for the General Instrument (also known as
143 NextLevel) SURFboard 1000 internal
144 cable modem. This is an ISA card which is used by a number of cable
145 TV companies to provide cable modem access. It's a one-way
146 downstream-only cable modem, meaning that your upstream net link is
147 provided by your regular phone modem.
149 At present this driver only compiles as a module, so say M here if
150 you have this card. The module will be called sb1000. Then read
151 <file:Documentation/networking/README.sb1000> for information on how
152 to use this module, as it needs special ppp scripts for establishing
153 a connection. Further documentation and the necessary scripts can be

174 Ethernet (also called IEEE 802.3 or ISO 8802-2) is the most common
175 type of Local Area Network (LAN) in universities and companies.
177 Common varieties of Ethernet are: 10BASE-2 or Thinnet (10 Mbps over
178 coaxial cable, linking computers in a chain), 10BASE-T or twisted
179 pair (10 Mbps over twisted pair cable, linking computers to central
180 hubs), 10BASE-F (10 Mbps over optical fiber links, using hubs),
181 100BASE-TX (100 Mbps over two twisted pair cables, using hubs),
182 100BASE-T4 (100 Mbps over 4 standard voice-grade twisted pair
183 cables, using hubs), 100BASE-FX (100 Mbps over optical fiber links)
184 [the 100BASE varieties are also known as Fast Ethernet], and Gigabit
185 Ethernet (1 Gbps over optical fiber or short copper links).
187 If your Linux machine will be connected to an Ethernet and you have
188 an Ethernet network interface card (NIC) installed in your computer,
189 say Y here and read the Ethernet-HOWTO, available from
190 <http://www.tldp.org/docs.html#howto>. You will then also have
191 to say Y to the driver for your particular NIC.

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

246 instead of an 8-pin RJ45 connector for twisted-pair ethernet. Say
247 Y here if you have such a machine. If unsure, say N.
248 The driver will default to AAUI on ANS anyway, and if you use it as
249 a module, you can provide the port_aaui=0|1 to force the driver.

2584 design; essentially a replacement for high speed Ethernet. FDDI can
2585 run over copper or fiber. If you are connected to such a network and

2592 depends on FDDI && (PCI || EISA || TC)
2594 This is support for the DIGITAL series of TURBOchannel (DEFTA),
2595 EISA (DEFEA) and PCI (DEFPA) controllers which can connect you
2596 to a local FDDI network.
2598 To compile this driver as a module, choose M here: the module

2608 This instructs the driver to use EISA or PCI memory-mapped I/O
2609 (MMIO) as appropriate instead of programmed I/O ports (PIO).
2610 Enabling this gives an improvement in processing time in parts
2611 of the driver, but it may cause problems with EISA (DEFEA)
2612 adapters. TURBOchannel does not have the concept of I/O ports,
2613 so MMIO is always used for these (DEFTA) adapters.

2655 can run over copper (25m) or fiber (300m on multi-mode or 10km on
2656 single-mode). HIPPI networks are commonly used for clusters and to
2657 connect to super computers. If you are connected to a HIPPI network
2658 and have a HIPPI network card in your computer that you want to use
2659 under Linux, say Y here (you must also remember to enable the driver

2682 tristate "PLIP (parallel port) support"
2685 PLIP (Parallel Line Internet Protocol) is used to create a
2686 reasonably fast mini network consisting of two (or, rarely, more)
2687 local machines. A PLIP link from a Linux box is a popular means to
2688 install a Linux distribution on a machine which doesn't have a
2689 CD-ROM drive (a minimal system has to be transferred with floppies
2690 first). The kernels on both machines need to have this PLIP option
2691 enabled for this to work.
2693 The PLIP driver has two modes, mode 0 and mode 1. The parallel
2694 ports (the connectors at the computers with 25 holes) are connected
2695 with "null printer" or "Turbo Laplink" cables which can transmit 4
2696 bits at a time (mode 0) or with special PLIP cables, to be used on
2697 bidirectional parallel ports only, which can transmit 8 bits at a
2698 time (mode 1); you can find the wiring of these cables in
2699 <file:Documentation/networking/PLIP.txt>. The cables can be up to
2700 15m long. Mode 0 works also if one of the machines runs DOS/Windows
2701 and has some PLIP software installed, e.g. the Crynwr PLIP packet
2702 driver (<http://oak.oakland.edu/simtel.net/msdos/pktdrvr-pre.html>)
2703 and winsock or NCSA's telnet.
2705 If you want to use PLIP, say Y and read the PLIP mini-HOWTO as well
2706 as the NET-3-HOWTO, both available from
2707 <http://www.tldp.org/docs.html#howto>. Note that the PLIP
2708 protocol has been changed and this PLIP driver won't work together
2709 with the PLIP support in Linux versions 1.0.x. This option enlarges
2710 your kernel by about 8 KB.
2712 To compile this driver as a module, choose M here and read
2713 <file:Documentation/networking/net-modules.txt>. The module will be
2714 called plip. If unsure, say Y or M, in case you buy a laptop
2718 tristate "PPP (point-to-point protocol) support"
2721 PPP (Point to Point Protocol) is a newer and better SLIP. It serves
2722 the same purpose: sending Internet traffic over telephone (and other
2723 serial) lines. Ask your access provider if they support it, because
2724 otherwise you can't use it; most Internet access providers these
2725 days support PPP rather than SLIP.
2727 To use PPP, you need an additional program called pppd as described
2728 in the PPP-HOWTO, available at
2729 <http://www.tldp.org/docs.html#howto>. Make sure that you have
2730 the version of pppd recommended in <file:Documentation/Changes>.
2731 The PPP option enlarges your kernel by about 16 KB.
2733 There are actually two versions of PPP: the traditional PPP for
2734 asynchronous lines, such as regular analog phone lines, and
2735 synchronous PPP which can be used over digital ISDN lines for
2736 example. If you want to use PPP over phone lines or other
2737 asynchronous serial lines, you need to say Y (or M) here and also to
2738 the next option, "PPP support for async serial ports". For PPP over
2739 synchronous lines, you should say Y (or M) here and to "Support
2740 synchronous PPP", below.
2742 If you said Y to "Version information on all symbols" above, then
2743 you cannot compile the PPP driver into the kernel; you can then only
2744 compile it as a module. To compile this driver as a module, choose M
2745 here and read <file:Documentation/networking/net-modules.txt>.
2746 The module will be called ppp_generic.
2748 config PPP_MULTILINK
2749 bool "PPP multilink support (EXPERIMENTAL)"
2750 depends on PPP && EXPERIMENTAL
2752 PPP multilink is a protocol (defined in RFC 1990) which allows you
2753 to combine several (logical or physical) lines into one logical PPP
2754 connection, so that you can utilize your full bandwidth.
2756 This has to be supported at the other end as well and you need a
2757 version of the pppd daemon which understands the multilink protocol.
2762 bool "PPP filtering"
2765 Say Y here if you want to be able to filter the packets passing over
2766 PPP interfaces. This allows you to control which packets count as
2767 activity (i.e. which packets will reset the idle timer or bring up
2768 a demand-dialed link) and which packets are to be dropped entirely.
2769 You need to say Y here if you wish to use the pass-filter and
2770 active-filter options to pppd.
2775 tristate "PPP support for async serial ports"
2779 Say Y (or M) here if you want to be able to use PPP over standard
2780 asynchronous serial ports, such as COM1 or COM2 on a PC. If you use
2781 a modem (not a synchronous or ISDN modem) to contact your ISP, you
2784 To compile this driver as a module, choose M here.
2789 tristate "PPP support for sync tty ports"
2792 Say Y (or M) here if you want to be able to use PPP over synchronous
2793 (HDLC) tty devices, such as the SyncLink adapter. These devices
2794 are often used for high-speed leased lines like T1/E1.
2796 To compile this driver as a module, choose M here.
2799 tristate "PPP Deflate compression"
2804 Support for the Deflate compression method for PPP, which uses the
2805 Deflate algorithm (the same algorithm that gzip uses) to compress
2806 each PPP packet before it is sent over the wire. The machine at the
2807 other end of the PPP link (usually your ISP) has to support the
2808 Deflate compression method as well for this to be useful. Even if
2809 they don't support it, it is safe to say Y here.
2811 To compile this driver as a module, choose M here.
2814 tristate "PPP BSD-Compress compression"
2817 Support for the BSD-Compress compression method for PPP, which uses
2818 the LZW compression method to compress each PPP packet before it is
2819 sent over the wire. The machine at the other end of the PPP link
2820 (usually your ISP) has to support the BSD-Compress compression
2821 method as well for this to be useful. Even if they don't support it,
2822 it is safe to say Y here.
2824 The PPP Deflate compression method ("PPP Deflate compression",
2825 above) is preferable to BSD-Compress, because it compresses better
2828 Note that the BSD compression code will always be compiled as a
2829 module; it is called bsd_comp and will show up in the directory
2830 modules once you have said "make modules". If unsure, say N.
2833 tristate "PPP MPPE compression (encryption) (EXPERIMENTAL)"
2834 depends on PPP && EXPERIMENTAL
2840 Support for the MPPE Encryption protocol, as employed by the
2841 Microsoft Point-to-Point Tunneling Protocol.

2844 configuring PPTP clients and servers to utilize this method.
2847 tristate "PPP over Ethernet (EXPERIMENTAL)"
2848 depends on EXPERIMENTAL && PPP
2850 Support for PPP over Ethernet.
2852 This driver requires the latest version of pppd from the CVS
2853 repository at cvs.samba.org. Alternatively, see the
2854 RoaringPenguin package (<http://www.roaringpenguin.com/pppoe>)
2855 which contains instruction on how to use this driver (under
2856 the heading "Kernel mode PPPoE").
2859 tristate "PPP over ATM"
2860 depends on ATM && PPP
2862 Support PPP (Point to Point Protocol) encapsulated in ATM frames.
2863 This implementation does not yet comply with section 8 of RFC2364,
2864 which can lead to bad results if the ATM peer loses state and
2865 changes its encapsulation unilaterally.
2868 tristate "PPP over L2TP (EXPERIMENTAL)"
2869 depends on EXPERIMENTAL && PPP && INET
2871 Support for PPP-over-L2TP socket family. L2TP is a protocol
2872 used by ISPs and enterprises to tunnel PPP traffic over UDP
2873 tunnels. L2TP is replacing PPTP for VPN uses.
2875 This kernel component handles only L2TP data packets: a
2876 userland daemon handles L2TP the control protocol (tunnel
2877 and session setup). One such daemon is OpenL2TP
2878 (http://openl2tp.sourceforge.net/).
2881 tristate "SLIP (serial line) support"
2883 Say Y if you intend to use SLIP or CSLIP (compressed SLIP) to
2884 connect to your Internet service provider or to connect to some
2885 other local Unix box or if you want to configure your Linux box as a
2886 Slip/CSlip server for other people to dial in. SLIP (Serial Line
2887 Internet Protocol) is a protocol used to send Internet traffic over
2888 serial connections such as telephone lines or null modem cables;
2889 nowadays, the protocol PPP is more commonly used for this same
2892 Normally, your access provider has to support SLIP in order for you
2893 to be able to use it, but there is now a SLIP emulator called SLiRP
2894 around (available from
2895 <ftp://ibiblio.org/pub/Linux/system/network/serial/>) which
2896 allows you to use SLIP over a regular dial up shell connection. If
2897 you plan to use SLiRP, make sure to say Y to CSLIP, below. The
2898 NET-3-HOWTO, available from
2899 <http://www.tldp.org/docs.html#howto>, explains how to
2900 configure SLIP. Note that you don't need this option if you just
2901 want to run term (term is a program which gives you almost full
2902 Internet connectivity if you have a regular dial up shell account on
2903 some Internet connected Unix computer. Read
2904 <http://www.bart.nl/~patrickr/term-howto/Term-HOWTO.html>). SLIP
2905 support will enlarge your kernel by about 4 KB. If unsure, say N.
2907 To compile this driver as a module, choose M here and read
2908 <file:Documentation/networking/net-modules.txt>. The module will be
2911 config SLIP_COMPRESSED
2912 bool "CSLIP compressed headers"
2916 This protocol is faster than SLIP because it uses compression on the
2917 TCP/IP headers (not on the data itself), but it has to be supported
2918 on both ends. Ask your access provider if you are not sure and
2919 answer Y, just in case. You will still be able to use plain SLIP. If
2920 you plan to use SLiRP, the SLIP emulator (available from
2921 <ftp://ibiblio.org/pub/Linux/system/network/serial/>) which
2922 allows you to use SLIP over a regular dial up shell connection, you
2923 definitely want to say Y here. The NET-3-HOWTO, available from
2924 <http://www.tldp.org/docs.html#howto>, explains how to configure
2925 CSLIP. This won't enlarge your kernel.
2930 This option enables Van Jacobsen serial line header compression
2934 bool "Keepalive and linefill"
2937 Adds additional capabilities to the SLIP driver to support the
2938 RELCOM line fill and keepalive monitoring. Ideal on poor quality
2941 config SLIP_MODE_SLIP6
2942 bool "Six bit SLIP encapsulation"
2945 Just occasionally you may need to run IP over hostile serial
2946 networks that don't pass all control characters or are only seven
2947 bit. Saying Y here adds an extra mode you can use with SLIP:
2948 "slip6". In this mode, SLIP will only send normal ASCII symbols over
2949 the serial device. Naturally, this has to be supported at the other
2950 end of the link as well. It's good enough, for example, to run IP
2951 over the async ports of a Camtec JNT Pad. If unsure, say N.
2954 bool "Fibre Channel driver support"
2955 depends on SCSI && PCI
2957 Fibre Channel is a high speed serial protocol mainly used to connect
2958 large storage devices to the computer; it is compatible with and
2959 intended to replace SCSI.
2961 If you intend to use Fibre Channel, you need to have a Fibre channel
2962 adaptor card in your computer; say Y here and to the driver for your
2963 adaptor below. You also should have said Y to "SCSI support" and
2964 "SCSI generic support".
2967 tristate "Traffic Shaper (OBSOLETE)"
2968 depends on EXPERIMENTAL
2970 The traffic shaper is a virtual network device that allows you to
2971 limit the rate of outgoing data flow over some other network device.
2972 The traffic that you want to slow down can then be routed through
2973 these virtual devices. See
2974 <file:Documentation/networking/shaper.txt> for more information.
2976 An alternative to this traffic shaper are traffic schedulers which
2977 you'll get if you say Y to "QoS and/or fair queuing" in
2978 "Networking options".
2980 To compile this driver as a module, choose M here: the module
2981 will be called shaper. If unsure, say N.
2984 tristate "Network console logging support (EXPERIMENTAL)"
2985 depends on EXPERIMENTAL
2987 If you want to log kernel messages over the network, enable this.
2988 See <file:Documentation/networking/netconsole.txt> for details.
2994 bool "Netpoll traffic trapping"
2998 config NET_POLL_CONTROLLER
