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
110 <http://www.tldp.org/docs.html#howto>.
112 To compile this driver as a module, choose M here: the module
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.
139 tristate "Virtual ethernet device"
141 The device is an ethernet tunnel. Devices are created in pairs. When
142 one end receives the packet it appears on its pair and vice versa.
145 tristate "General Instruments Surfboard 1000"
148 This is a driver for the General Instrument (also known as
149 NextLevel) SURFboard 1000 internal
150 cable modem. This is an ISA card which is used by a number of cable
151 TV companies to provide cable modem access. It's a one-way
152 downstream-only cable modem, meaning that your upstream net link is
153 provided by your regular phone modem.
155 At present this driver only compiles as a module, so say M here if
156 you have this card. The module will be called sb1000. Then read
157 <file:Documentation/networking/README.sb1000> for information on how
158 to use this module, as it needs special ppp scripts for establishing
159 a connection. Further documentation and the necessary scripts can be

187 bool "Ethernet (10 or 100Mbit)"
190 Ethernet (also called IEEE 802.3 or ISO 8802-2) is the most common
191 type of Local Area Network (LAN) in universities and companies.
193 Common varieties of Ethernet are: 10BASE-2 or Thinnet (10 Mbps over
194 coaxial cable, linking computers in a chain), 10BASE-T or twisted
195 pair (10 Mbps over twisted pair cable, linking computers to central
196 hubs), 10BASE-F (10 Mbps over optical fiber links, using hubs),
197 100BASE-TX (100 Mbps over two twisted pair cables, using hubs),
198 100BASE-T4 (100 Mbps over 4 standard voice-grade twisted pair
199 cables, using hubs), 100BASE-FX (100 Mbps over optical fiber links)
200 [the 100BASE varieties are also known as Fast Ethernet], and Gigabit
201 Ethernet (1 Gbps over optical fiber or short copper links).
203 If your Linux machine will be connected to an Ethernet and you have
204 an Ethernet network interface card (NIC) installed in your computer,
205 say Y here and read the Ethernet-HOWTO, available from
206 <http://www.tldp.org/docs.html#howto>. You will then also have
207 to say Y to the driver for your particular NIC.
209 Note that the answer to this question won't directly affect the
210 kernel: saying N will just cause the configurator to skip all
211 the questions about Ethernet network cards. If unsure, say N.
216 tristate "Generic Media Independent Interface device support"
218 Most ethernet controllers have MII transceiver either as an external
219 or internal device. It is safe to say Y or M here even if your
220 ethernet card lack MII.

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

2726 This instructs the driver to use EISA or PCI memory-mapped I/O
2727 (MMIO) as appropriate instead of programmed I/O ports (PIO).
2728 Enabling this gives an improvement in processing time in parts
2729 of the driver, but it may cause problems with EISA (DEFEA)
2730 adapters. TURBOchannel does not have the concept of I/O ports,
2731 so MMIO is always used for these (DEFTA) adapters.

2793 If you say Y here, the RoadRunner driver will preallocate up to 2 MB
2794 of additional memory to allow for fastest operation, both for
2795 transmitting and receiving. This memory cannot be used by any other
2796 kernel code or by user space programs. Say Y here only if you have
2800 tristate "PLIP (parallel port) support"
2803 PLIP (Parallel Line Internet Protocol) is used to create a
2804 reasonably fast mini network consisting of two (or, rarely, more)
2805 local machines. A PLIP link from a Linux box is a popular means to
2806 install a Linux distribution on a machine which doesn't have a
2807 CD-ROM drive (a minimal system has to be transferred with floppies
2808 first). The kernels on both machines need to have this PLIP option
2809 enabled for this to work.
2811 The PLIP driver has two modes, mode 0 and mode 1. The parallel
2812 ports (the connectors at the computers with 25 holes) are connected
2813 with "null printer" or "Turbo Laplink" cables which can transmit 4
2814 bits at a time (mode 0) or with special PLIP cables, to be used on
2815 bidirectional parallel ports only, which can transmit 8 bits at a
2816 time (mode 1); you can find the wiring of these cables in
2817 <file:Documentation/networking/PLIP.txt>. The cables can be up to
2818 15m long. Mode 0 works also if one of the machines runs DOS/Windows
2819 and has some PLIP software installed, e.g. the Crynwr PLIP packet
2820 driver (<http://oak.oakland.edu/simtel.net/msdos/pktdrvr-pre.html>)
2821 and winsock or NCSA's telnet.
2823 If you want to use PLIP, say Y and read the PLIP mini-HOWTO as well
2824 as the NET-3-HOWTO, both available from
2825 <http://www.tldp.org/docs.html#howto>. Note that the PLIP
2826 protocol has been changed and this PLIP driver won't work together
2827 with the PLIP support in Linux versions 1.0.x. This option enlarges
2828 your kernel by about 8 KB.
2830 To compile this driver as a module, choose M here and read
2831 <file:Documentation/networking/net-modules.txt>. The module will be
2832 called plip. If unsure, say Y or M, in case you buy a laptop
2836 tristate "PPP (point-to-point protocol) support"
2839 PPP (Point to Point Protocol) is a newer and better SLIP. It serves
2840 the same purpose: sending Internet traffic over telephone (and other
2841 serial) lines. Ask your access provider if they support it, because
2842 otherwise you can't use it; most Internet access providers these
2843 days support PPP rather than SLIP.
2845 To use PPP, you need an additional program called pppd as described
2846 in the PPP-HOWTO, available at
2847 <http://www.tldp.org/docs.html#howto>. Make sure that you have
2848 the version of pppd recommended in <file:Documentation/Changes>.
2849 The PPP option enlarges your kernel by about 16 KB.
2851 There are actually two versions of PPP: the traditional PPP for
2852 asynchronous lines, such as regular analog phone lines, and
2853 synchronous PPP which can be used over digital ISDN lines for
2854 example. If you want to use PPP over phone lines or other
2855 asynchronous serial lines, you need to say Y (or M) here and also to
2856 the next option, "PPP support for async serial ports". For PPP over
2857 synchronous lines, you should say Y (or M) here and to "Support
2858 synchronous PPP", below.
2860 If you said Y to "Version information on all symbols" above, then
2861 you cannot compile the PPP driver into the kernel; you can then only
2862 compile it as a module. To compile this driver as a module, choose M
2863 here and read <file:Documentation/networking/net-modules.txt>.
2864 The module will be called ppp_generic.
2866 config PPP_MULTILINK
2867 bool "PPP multilink support (EXPERIMENTAL)"
2868 depends on PPP && EXPERIMENTAL
2870 PPP multilink is a protocol (defined in RFC 1990) which allows you
2871 to combine several (logical or physical) lines into one logical PPP
2872 connection, so that you can utilize your full bandwidth.
2874 This has to be supported at the other end as well and you need a
2875 version of the pppd daemon which understands the multilink protocol.
2880 bool "PPP filtering"
2883 Say Y here if you want to be able to filter the packets passing over
2884 PPP interfaces. This allows you to control which packets count as
2885 activity (i.e. which packets will reset the idle timer or bring up
2886 a demand-dialed link) and which packets are to be dropped entirely.
2887 You need to say Y here if you wish to use the pass-filter and
2888 active-filter options to pppd.
2893 tristate "PPP support for async serial ports"
2897 Say Y (or M) here if you want to be able to use PPP over standard
2898 asynchronous serial ports, such as COM1 or COM2 on a PC. If you use
2899 a modem (not a synchronous or ISDN modem) to contact your ISP, you
2902 To compile this driver as a module, choose M here.
2907 tristate "PPP support for sync tty ports"
2910 Say Y (or M) here if you want to be able to use PPP over synchronous
2911 (HDLC) tty devices, such as the SyncLink adapter. These devices
2912 are often used for high-speed leased lines like T1/E1.
2914 To compile this driver as a module, choose M here.
2917 tristate "PPP Deflate compression"
2922 Support for the Deflate compression method for PPP, which uses the
2923 Deflate algorithm (the same algorithm that gzip uses) to compress
2924 each PPP packet before it is sent over the wire. The machine at the
2925 other end of the PPP link (usually your ISP) has to support the
2926 Deflate compression method as well for this to be useful. Even if
2927 they don't support it, it is safe to say Y here.
2929 To compile this driver as a module, choose M here.
2932 tristate "PPP BSD-Compress compression"
2935 Support for the BSD-Compress compression method for PPP, which uses
2936 the LZW compression method to compress each PPP packet before it is
2937 sent over the wire. The machine at the other end of the PPP link
2938 (usually your ISP) has to support the BSD-Compress compression
2939 method as well for this to be useful. Even if they don't support it,
2940 it is safe to say Y here.
2942 The PPP Deflate compression method ("PPP Deflate compression",
2943 above) is preferable to BSD-Compress, because it compresses better
2946 Note that the BSD compression code will always be compiled as a
2947 module; it is called bsd_comp and will show up in the directory
2948 modules once you have said "make modules". If unsure, say N.
2951 tristate "PPP MPPE compression (encryption) (EXPERIMENTAL)"
2952 depends on PPP && EXPERIMENTAL
2958 Support for the MPPE Encryption protocol, as employed by the
2959 Microsoft Point-to-Point Tunneling Protocol.
2961 See http://pptpclient.sourceforge.net/ for information on
2962 configuring PPTP clients and servers to utilize this method.
2965 tristate "PPP over Ethernet (EXPERIMENTAL)"
2966 depends on EXPERIMENTAL && PPP
2968 Support for PPP over Ethernet.
2970 This driver requires the latest version of pppd from the CVS
2971 repository at cvs.samba.org. Alternatively, see the
2972 RoaringPenguin package (<http://www.roaringpenguin.com/pppoe>)
2973 which contains instruction on how to use this driver (under
2974 the heading "Kernel mode PPPoE").
2977 tristate "PPP over ATM"
2978 depends on ATM && PPP
2980 Support PPP (Point to Point Protocol) encapsulated in ATM frames.
2981 This implementation does not yet comply with section 8 of RFC2364,
2982 which can lead to bad results if the ATM peer loses state and
2983 changes its encapsulation unilaterally.
2986 tristate "PPP over L2TP (EXPERIMENTAL)"
2987 depends on EXPERIMENTAL && PPP && INET
2989 Support for PPP-over-L2TP socket family. L2TP is a protocol
2990 used by ISPs and enterprises to tunnel PPP traffic over UDP
2991 tunnels. L2TP is replacing PPTP for VPN uses.
2993 This kernel component handles only L2TP data packets: a
2994 userland daemon handles L2TP the control protocol (tunnel
2995 and session setup). One such daemon is OpenL2TP
2996 (http://openl2tp.sourceforge.net/).
2999 tristate "SLIP (serial line) support"
3001 Say Y if you intend to use SLIP or CSLIP (compressed SLIP) to
3002 connect to your Internet service provider or to connect to some
3003 other local Unix box or if you want to configure your Linux box as a
3004 Slip/CSlip server for other people to dial in. SLIP (Serial Line
3005 Internet Protocol) is a protocol used to send Internet traffic over
3006 serial connections such as telephone lines or null modem cables;
3007 nowadays, the protocol PPP is more commonly used for this same
3010 Normally, your access provider has to support SLIP in order for you
3011 to be able to use it, but there is now a SLIP emulator called SLiRP
3012 around (available from
3013 <ftp://ibiblio.org/pub/Linux/system/network/serial/>) which
3014 allows you to use SLIP over a regular dial up shell connection. If
3015 you plan to use SLiRP, make sure to say Y to CSLIP, below. The
3016 NET-3-HOWTO, available from
3017 <http://www.tldp.org/docs.html#howto>, explains how to
3018 configure SLIP. Note that you don't need this option if you just
3019 want to run term (term is a program which gives you almost full
3020 Internet connectivity if you have a regular dial up shell account on
3021 some Internet connected Unix computer. Read
3022 <http://www.bart.nl/~patrickr/term-howto/Term-HOWTO.html>). SLIP
3023 support will enlarge your kernel by about 4 KB. If unsure, say N.
3025 To compile this driver as a module, choose M here and read
3026 <file:Documentation/networking/net-modules.txt>. The module will be
3029 config SLIP_COMPRESSED
3030 bool "CSLIP compressed headers"
3034 This protocol is faster than SLIP because it uses compression on the
3035 TCP/IP headers (not on the data itself), but it has to be supported
3036 on both ends. Ask your access provider if you are not sure and
3037 answer Y, just in case. You will still be able to use plain SLIP. If
3038 you plan to use SLiRP, the SLIP emulator (available from
3039 <ftp://ibiblio.org/pub/Linux/system/network/serial/>) which
3040 allows you to use SLIP over a regular dial up shell connection, you
3041 definitely want to say Y here. The NET-3-HOWTO, available from
3042 <http://www.tldp.org/docs.html#howto>, explains how to configure
3043 CSLIP. This won't enlarge your kernel.
3048 This option enables Van Jacobsen serial line header compression
3052 bool "Keepalive and linefill"
3055 Adds additional capabilities to the SLIP driver to support the
3056 RELCOM line fill and keepalive monitoring. Ideal on poor quality
3059 config SLIP_MODE_SLIP6
3060 bool "Six bit SLIP encapsulation"
3063 Just occasionally you may need to run IP over hostile serial
3064 networks that don't pass all control characters or are only seven
3065 bit. Saying Y here adds an extra mode you can use with SLIP:
3066 "slip6". In this mode, SLIP will only send normal ASCII symbols over
3067 the serial device. Naturally, this has to be supported at the other
3068 end of the link as well. It's good enough, for example, to run IP
3069 over the async ports of a Camtec JNT Pad. If unsure, say N.
3072 bool "Fibre Channel driver support"
3073 depends on SCSI && PCI
3075 Fibre Channel is a high speed serial protocol mainly used to connect
3076 large storage devices to the computer; it is compatible with and
3077 intended to replace SCSI.
3079 If you intend to use Fibre Channel, you need to have a Fibre channel
3080 adaptor card in your computer; say Y here and to the driver for your
3081 adaptor below. You also should have said Y to "SCSI support" and
3082 "SCSI generic support".
3085 tristate "Traffic Shaper (OBSOLETE)"
3086 depends on EXPERIMENTAL
3088 The traffic shaper is a virtual network device that allows you to
3089 limit the rate of outgoing data flow over some other network device.
3090 The traffic that you want to slow down can then be routed through
3091 these virtual devices. See
3092 <file:Documentation/networking/shaper.txt> for more information.
3094 An alternative to this traffic shaper are traffic schedulers which
3095 you'll get if you say Y to "QoS and/or fair queuing" in
3096 "Networking options".
3098 To compile this driver as a module, choose M here: the module
3099 will be called shaper. If unsure, say N.
3102 tristate "Network console logging support (EXPERIMENTAL)"
3103 depends on EXPERIMENTAL
3105 If you want to log kernel messages over the network, enable this.
3106 See <file:Documentation/networking/netconsole.txt> for details.
3108 config NETCONSOLE_DYNAMIC
3109 bool "Dynamic reconfiguration of logging targets (EXPERIMENTAL)"
3110 depends on NETCONSOLE && SYSFS && EXPERIMENTAL
3113 This option enables the ability to dynamically reconfigure target
3114 parameters (interface, IP addresses, port numbers, MAC addresses)
3115 at runtime through a userspace interface exported using configfs.
3116 See <file:Documentation/networking/netconsole.txt> for details.
3122 bool "Netpoll traffic trapping"
3126 config NET_POLL_CONTROLLER
3130 tristate "Virtio network driver (EXPERIMENTAL)"
3131 depends on EXPERIMENTAL && VIRTIO
3133 This is the virtual network driver for lguest. Say Y or M.
