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.

32 tristate "Intermediate Functional Block support"
33 depends on NET_CLS_ACT
35 This is an intermediate driver that allows sharing of
37 To compile this driver as a module, choose M here: the module
38 will be called ifb. If you want to use more than one ifb
39 device at a time, you need to compile this driver as a module.
40 Instead of 'ifb', the devices will then be called 'ifb0',
42 Look at the iproute2 documentation directory for usage etc
45 tristate "Dummy net driver support"
47 This is essentially a bit-bucket device (i.e. traffic you send to
48 this device is consigned into oblivion) with a configurable IP
49 address. It is most commonly used in order to make your currently
50 inactive SLIP address seem like a real address for local programs.
51 If you use SLIP or PPP, you might want to say Y here. Since this
52 thing often comes in handy, the default is Y. It won't enlarge your
53 kernel either. What a deal. Read about it in the Network
54 Administrator's Guide, available from
55 <http://www.tldp.org/docs.html#guide>.
57 To compile this driver as a module, choose M here: the module
58 will be called dummy. If you want to use more than one dummy
59 device at a time, you need to compile this driver as a module.
60 Instead of 'dummy', the devices will then be called 'dummy0',
64 tristate "Bonding driver support"
67 Say 'Y' or 'M' if you wish to be able to 'bond' multiple Ethernet
68 Channels together. This is called 'Etherchannel' by Cisco,
69 'Trunking' by Sun, 802.3ad by the IEEE, and 'Bonding' in Linux.
71 The driver supports multiple bonding modes to allow for both high
72 performance and high availability operation.
74 Refer to <file:Documentation/networking/bonding.txt> for more
77 To compile this driver as a module, choose M here: the module
78 will be called bonding.
81 tristate "EQL (serial line load balancing) support"
83 If you have two serial connections to some other computer (this
84 usually requires two modems and two telephone lines) and you use
85 SLIP (the protocol for sending Internet traffic over telephone
86 lines) or PPP (a better SLIP) on them, you can make them behave like
87 one double speed connection using this driver. Naturally, this has
88 to be supported at the other end as well, either with a similar EQL
89 Linux driver or with a Livingston Portmaster 2e.
91 Say Y if you want this and read
92 <file:Documentation/networking/eql.txt>. You may also want to read
93 section 6.2 of the NET-3-HOWTO, available from
94 <http://www.tldp.org/docs.html#howto>.
96 To compile this driver as a module, choose M here: the module
97 will be called eql. If unsure, say N.
100 tristate "Universal TUN/TAP device driver support"
103 TUN/TAP provides packet reception and transmission for user space
104 programs. It can be viewed as a simple Point-to-Point or Ethernet
105 device, which instead of receiving packets from a physical media,
106 receives them from user space program and instead of sending packets
107 via physical media writes them to the user space program.
109 When a program opens /dev/net/tun, driver creates and registers
110 corresponding net device tunX or tapX. After a program closed above
111 devices, driver will automatically delete tunXX or tapXX device and
112 all routes corresponding to it.
114 Please read <file:Documentation/networking/tuntap.txt> for more
117 To compile this driver as a module, choose M here: the module
120 If you don't know what to use this for, you don't need it.
123 tristate "General Instruments Surfboard 1000"
126 This is a driver for the General Instrument (also known as
127 NextLevel) SURFboard 1000 internal
128 cable modem. This is an ISA card which is used by a number of cable
129 TV companies to provide cable modem access. It's a one-way
130 downstream-only cable modem, meaning that your upstream net link is
131 provided by your regular phone modem.
133 At present this driver only compiles as a module, so say M here if
134 you have this card. The module will be called sb1000. Then read
135 <file:Documentation/networking/README.sb1000> for information on how
136 to use this module, as it needs special ppp scripts for establishing
137 a connection. Further documentation and the necessary scripts can be

158 bool "Ethernet (10 or 100Mbit)"
160 Ethernet (also called IEEE 802.3 or ISO 8802-2) is the most common
161 type of Local Area Network (LAN) in universities and companies.
163 Common varieties of Ethernet are: 10BASE-2 or Thinnet (10 Mbps over
164 coaxial cable, linking computers in a chain), 10BASE-T or twisted
165 pair (10 Mbps over twisted pair cable, linking computers to central
166 hubs), 10BASE-F (10 Mbps over optical fiber links, using hubs),
167 100BASE-TX (100 Mbps over two twisted pair cables, using hubs),
168 100BASE-T4 (100 Mbps over 4 standard voice-grade twisted pair
169 cables, using hubs), 100BASE-FX (100 Mbps over optical fiber links)
170 [the 100BASE varieties are also known as Fast Ethernet], and Gigabit
171 Ethernet (1 Gbps over optical fiber or short copper links).
173 If your Linux machine will be connected to an Ethernet and you have
174 an Ethernet network interface card (NIC) installed in your computer,
175 say Y here and read the Ethernet-HOWTO, available from
176 <http://www.tldp.org/docs.html#howto>. You will then also have
177 to say Y to the driver for your particular NIC.
179 Note that the answer to this question won't directly affect the
180 kernel: saying N will just cause the configurator to skip all
181 the questions about Ethernet network cards. If unsure, say N.
184 tristate "Generic Media Independent Interface device support"
185 depends on NET_ETHERNET
187 Most ethernet controllers have MII transceiver either as an external

209 Power Macintoshes and clones with Ethernet built-in on the
210 motherboard will usually use a MACE (Medium Access Control for
211 Ethernet) interface. Say Y to include support for the MACE chip.
213 To compile this driver as a module, choose M here: the module
216 config MACE_AAUI_PORT

220 Some Apple machines (notably the Apple Network Server) which use the
221 MACE ethernet chip have an Apple AUI port (small 15-pin connector),
222 instead of an 8-pin RJ45 connector for twisted-pair ethernet. Say
223 Y here if you have such a machine. If unsure, say N.
224 The driver will default to AAUI on ANS anyway, and if you use it as
225 a module, you can provide the port_aaui=0|1 to force the driver.

2047 will be called r8169. This is recommended.
2050 bool "Use Rx and Tx Polling (NAPI) (EXPERIMENTAL)"
2051 depends on R8169 && EXPERIMENTAL
2053 NAPI is a new driver API designed to reduce CPU and interrupt load
2054 when the driver is receiving lots of packets from the card. It is
2055 still somewhat experimental and thus not yet enabled by default.
2057 If your estimated Rx load is 10kpps or more, or if the card will be
2058 deployed on potentially unfriendly networks (e.g. in a firewall),
2061 See <file:Documentation/networking/NAPI_HOWTO.txt> for more

2446 NAPI is a new driver API designed to reduce CPU and interrupt load
2447 when the driver is receiving lots of packets from the card. It is
2448 still somewhat experimental and thus not yet enabled by default.

2548 depends on (PCI || EISA || TC)
2550 Fiber Distributed Data Interface is a high speed local area network
2551 design; essentially a replacement for high speed Ethernet. FDDI can
2552 run over copper or fiber. If you are connected to such a network and
2553 want a driver for the FDDI card in your computer, say Y here (and
2554 then also Y to the driver for your FDDI card, below). Most people
2558 tristate "Digital DEFTA/DEFEA/DEFPA adapter support"
2559 depends on FDDI && (PCI || EISA || TC)
2561 This is support for the DIGITAL series of TURBOchannel (DEFTA),
2562 EISA (DEFEA) and PCI (DEFPA) controllers which can connect you
2563 to a local FDDI network.
2565 To compile this driver as a module, choose M here: the module
2566 will be called defxx. If unsure, say N.
2570 prompt "Use MMIO instead of PIO" if PCI || EISA
2572 default n if PCI || EISA
2575 This instructs the driver to use EISA or PCI memory-mapped I/O
2576 (MMIO) as appropriate instead of programmed I/O ports (PIO).
2577 Enabling this gives an improvement in processing time in parts
2578 of the driver, but it may cause problems with EISA (DEFEA)
2579 adapters. TURBOchannel does not have the concept of I/O ports,
2580 so MMIO is always used for these (DEFTA) adapters.
2585 tristate "SysKonnect FDDI PCI support"
2586 depends on FDDI && PCI
2589 Say Y here if you have a SysKonnect FDDI PCI adapter.
2590 The following adapters are supported by this driver:

2614 will be called skfp. This is recommended.
2617 bool "HIPPI driver support (EXPERIMENTAL)"
2618 depends on EXPERIMENTAL && INET && PCI
2620 HIgh Performance Parallel Interface (HIPPI) is a 800Mbit/sec and
2621 1600Mbit/sec dual-simplex switched or point-to-point network. HIPPI
2622 can run over copper (25m) or fiber (300m on multi-mode or 10km on
2623 single-mode). HIPPI networks are commonly used for clusters and to
2624 connect to super computers. If you are connected to a HIPPI network
2625 and have a HIPPI network card in your computer that you want to use
2626 under Linux, say Y here (you must also remember to enable the driver
2627 for your HIPPI card below). Most people will say N here.
2630 tristate "Essential RoadRunner HIPPI PCI adapter support (EXPERIMENTAL)"
2631 depends on HIPPI && PCI
2633 Say Y here if this is your PCI HIPPI network card.
2635 To compile this driver as a module, choose M here: the module
2636 will be called rrunner. If unsure, say N.
2638 config ROADRUNNER_LARGE_RINGS
2639 bool "Use large TX/RX rings (EXPERIMENTAL)"
2640 depends on ROADRUNNER
2642 If you say Y here, the RoadRunner driver will preallocate up to 2 MB
2643 of additional memory to allow for fastest operation, both for
2644 transmitting and receiving. This memory cannot be used by any other
2645 kernel code or by user space programs. Say Y here only if you have
2649 tristate "PLIP (parallel port) support"
2652 PLIP (Parallel Line Internet Protocol) is used to create a
2653 reasonably fast mini network consisting of two (or, rarely, more)
2654 local machines. A PLIP link from a Linux box is a popular means to
2655 install a Linux distribution on a machine which doesn't have a
2656 CD-ROM drive (a minimal system has to be transferred with floppies
2657 first). The kernels on both machines need to have this PLIP option
2658 enabled for this to work.
2660 The PLIP driver has two modes, mode 0 and mode 1. The parallel
2661 ports (the connectors at the computers with 25 holes) are connected
2662 with "null printer" or "Turbo Laplink" cables which can transmit 4
2663 bits at a time (mode 0) or with special PLIP cables, to be used on
2664 bidirectional parallel ports only, which can transmit 8 bits at a
2665 time (mode 1); you can find the wiring of these cables in
2666 <file:Documentation/networking/PLIP.txt>. The cables can be up to
2667 15m long. Mode 0 works also if one of the machines runs DOS/Windows
2668 and has some PLIP software installed, e.g. the Crynwr PLIP packet
2669 driver (<http://oak.oakland.edu/simtel.net/msdos/pktdrvr-pre.html>)
2670 and winsock or NCSA's telnet.
2672 If you want to use PLIP, say Y and read the PLIP mini-HOWTO as well
2673 as the NET-3-HOWTO, both available from
2674 <http://www.tldp.org/docs.html#howto>. Note that the PLIP
2675 protocol has been changed and this PLIP driver won't work together
2676 with the PLIP support in Linux versions 1.0.x. This option enlarges
2677 your kernel by about 8 KB.
2679 To compile this driver as a module, choose M here and read
2680 <file:Documentation/networking/net-modules.txt>. The module will be
2681 called plip. If unsure, say Y or M, in case you buy a laptop
2685 tristate "PPP (point-to-point protocol) support"
2688 PPP (Point to Point Protocol) is a newer and better SLIP. It serves
2689 the same purpose: sending Internet traffic over telephone (and other
2690 serial) lines. Ask your access provider if they support it, because
2691 otherwise you can't use it; most Internet access providers these
2692 days support PPP rather than SLIP.
2694 To use PPP, you need an additional program called pppd as described
2695 in the PPP-HOWTO, available at
2696 <http://www.tldp.org/docs.html#howto>. Make sure that you have
2697 the version of pppd recommended in <file:Documentation/Changes>.
2698 The PPP option enlarges your kernel by about 16 KB.
2700 There are actually two versions of PPP: the traditional PPP for
2701 asynchronous lines, such as regular analog phone lines, and
2702 synchronous PPP which can be used over digital ISDN lines for
2703 example. If you want to use PPP over phone lines or other
2704 asynchronous serial lines, you need to say Y (or M) here and also to
2705 the next option, "PPP support for async serial ports". For PPP over
2706 synchronous lines, you should say Y (or M) here and to "Support
2707 synchronous PPP", below.
2709 If you said Y to "Version information on all symbols" above, then
2710 you cannot compile the PPP driver into the kernel; you can then only
2711 compile it as a module. To compile this driver as a module, choose M
2712 here and read <file:Documentation/networking/net-modules.txt>.
2713 The module will be called ppp_generic.
2715 config PPP_MULTILINK
2716 bool "PPP multilink support (EXPERIMENTAL)"
2717 depends on PPP && EXPERIMENTAL
2719 PPP multilink is a protocol (defined in RFC 1990) which allows you
2720 to combine several (logical or physical) lines into one logical PPP
2721 connection, so that you can utilize your full bandwidth.
2723 This has to be supported at the other end as well and you need a
2724 version of the pppd daemon which understands the multilink protocol.
2729 bool "PPP filtering"
2732 Say Y here if you want to be able to filter the packets passing over
2733 PPP interfaces. This allows you to control which packets count as
2734 activity (i.e. which packets will reset the idle timer or bring up
2735 a demand-dialed link) and which packets are to be dropped entirely.
2736 You need to say Y here if you wish to use the pass-filter and
2737 active-filter options to pppd.
2742 tristate "PPP support for async serial ports"
2746 Say Y (or M) here if you want to be able to use PPP over standard
2747 asynchronous serial ports, such as COM1 or COM2 on a PC. If you use
2748 a modem (not a synchronous or ISDN modem) to contact your ISP, you
2751 To compile this driver as a module, choose M here.
2756 tristate "PPP support for sync tty ports"
2759 Say Y (or M) here if you want to be able to use PPP over synchronous
2760 (HDLC) tty devices, such as the SyncLink adapter. These devices
2761 are often used for high-speed leased lines like T1/E1.
2763 To compile this driver as a module, choose M here.
2766 tristate "PPP Deflate compression"
2771 Support for the Deflate compression method for PPP, which uses the
2772 Deflate algorithm (the same algorithm that gzip uses) to compress
2773 each PPP packet before it is sent over the wire. The machine at the
2774 other end of the PPP link (usually your ISP) has to support the
2775 Deflate compression method as well for this to be useful. Even if
2776 they don't support it, it is safe to say Y here.
2778 To compile this driver as a module, choose M here.
2781 tristate "PPP BSD-Compress compression"
2784 Support for the BSD-Compress compression method for PPP, which uses
2785 the LZW compression method to compress each PPP packet before it is
2786 sent over the wire. The machine at the other end of the PPP link
2787 (usually your ISP) has to support the BSD-Compress compression
2788 method as well for this to be useful. Even if they don't support it,
2789 it is safe to say Y here.
2791 The PPP Deflate compression method ("PPP Deflate compression",
2792 above) is preferable to BSD-Compress, because it compresses better
2795 Note that the BSD compression code will always be compiled as a
2796 module; it is called bsd_comp and will show up in the directory
2797 modules once you have said "make modules". If unsure, say N.
2800 tristate "PPP MPPE compression (encryption) (EXPERIMENTAL)"
2801 depends on PPP && EXPERIMENTAL
2807 Support for the MPPE Encryption protocol, as employed by the
2808 Microsoft Point-to-Point Tunneling Protocol.
2810 See http://pptpclient.sourceforge.net/ for information on
2811 configuring PPTP clients and servers to utilize this method.
2814 tristate "PPP over Ethernet (EXPERIMENTAL)"
2815 depends on EXPERIMENTAL && PPP
2817 Support for PPP over Ethernet.
2819 This driver requires the latest version of pppd from the CVS
2820 repository at cvs.samba.org. Alternatively, see the
2821 RoaringPenguin package (<http://www.roaringpenguin.com/pppoe>)
2822 which contains instruction on how to use this driver (under
2823 the heading "Kernel mode PPPoE").
2826 tristate "PPP over ATM"
2827 depends on ATM && PPP
2829 Support PPP (Point to Point Protocol) encapsulated in ATM frames.
2830 This implementation does not yet comply with section 8 of RFC2364,
2831 which can lead to bad results if the ATM peer loses state and
2832 changes its encapsulation unilaterally.
2835 tristate "SLIP (serial line) support"
2837 Say Y if you intend to use SLIP or CSLIP (compressed SLIP) to
2838 connect to your Internet service provider or to connect to some
2839 other local Unix box or if you want to configure your Linux box as a
2840 Slip/CSlip server for other people to dial in. SLIP (Serial Line
2841 Internet Protocol) is a protocol used to send Internet traffic over
2842 serial connections such as telephone lines or null modem cables;
2843 nowadays, the protocol PPP is more commonly used for this same
2846 Normally, your access provider has to support SLIP in order for you
2847 to be able to use it, but there is now a SLIP emulator called SLiRP
2848 around (available from
2849 <ftp://ibiblio.org/pub/Linux/system/network/serial/>) which
2850 allows you to use SLIP over a regular dial up shell connection. If
2851 you plan to use SLiRP, make sure to say Y to CSLIP, below. The
2852 NET-3-HOWTO, available from
2853 <http://www.tldp.org/docs.html#howto>, explains how to
2854 configure SLIP. Note that you don't need this option if you just
2855 want to run term (term is a program which gives you almost full
2856 Internet connectivity if you have a regular dial up shell account on
2857 some Internet connected Unix computer. Read
2858 <http://www.bart.nl/~patrickr/term-howto/Term-HOWTO.html>). SLIP
2859 support will enlarge your kernel by about 4 KB. If unsure, say N.
2861 To compile this driver as a module, choose M here and read
2862 <file:Documentation/networking/net-modules.txt>. The module will be
2865 config SLIP_COMPRESSED
2866 bool "CSLIP compressed headers"
2870 This protocol is faster than SLIP because it uses compression on the
2871 TCP/IP headers (not on the data itself), but it has to be supported
2872 on both ends. Ask your access provider if you are not sure and
2873 answer Y, just in case. You will still be able to use plain SLIP. If
2874 you plan to use SLiRP, the SLIP emulator (available from
2875 <ftp://ibiblio.org/pub/Linux/system/network/serial/>) which
2876 allows you to use SLIP over a regular dial up shell connection, you
2877 definitely want to say Y here. The NET-3-HOWTO, available from
2878 <http://www.tldp.org/docs.html#howto>, explains how to configure
2879 CSLIP. This won't enlarge your kernel.
2884 This option enables Van Jacobsen serial line header compression
2888 bool "Keepalive and linefill"
2891 Adds additional capabilities to the SLIP driver to support the
2892 RELCOM line fill and keepalive monitoring. Ideal on poor quality
2895 config SLIP_MODE_SLIP6
2896 bool "Six bit SLIP encapsulation"
2899 Just occasionally you may need to run IP over hostile serial
2900 networks that don't pass all control characters or are only seven
2901 bit. Saying Y here adds an extra mode you can use with SLIP:
2902 "slip6". In this mode, SLIP will only send normal ASCII symbols over
2903 the serial device. Naturally, this has to be supported at the other
2904 end of the link as well. It's good enough, for example, to run IP
2905 over the async ports of a Camtec JNT Pad. If unsure, say N.
2908 bool "Fibre Channel driver support"
2909 depends on SCSI && PCI
2911 Fibre Channel is a high speed serial protocol mainly used to connect
2912 large storage devices to the computer; it is compatible with and
2913 intended to replace SCSI.
2915 If you intend to use Fibre Channel, you need to have a Fibre channel
2916 adaptor card in your computer; say Y here and to the driver for your
2917 adaptor below. You also should have said Y to "SCSI support" and
2918 "SCSI generic support".
2921 tristate "Traffic Shaper (OBSOLETE)"
2922 depends on EXPERIMENTAL
2924 The traffic shaper is a virtual network device that allows you to
2925 limit the rate of outgoing data flow over some other network device.
2926 The traffic that you want to slow down can then be routed through
2927 these virtual devices. See
2928 <file:Documentation/networking/shaper.txt> for more information.
2930 An alternative to this traffic shaper are traffic schedulers which
2931 you'll get if you say Y to "QoS and/or fair queuing" in
2932 "Networking options".
2934 To compile this driver as a module, choose M here: the module
2935 will be called shaper. If unsure, say N.
2938 tristate "Network console logging support (EXPERIMENTAL)"
2939 depends on EXPERIMENTAL
2941 If you want to log kernel messages over the network, enable this.
2942 See <file:Documentation/networking/netconsole.txt> for details.
2950 bool "Netpoll support for trapping incoming packets"
2955 bool "Netpoll traffic trapping"
2959 config NET_POLL_CONTROLLER
