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.

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

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

206 Some Apple machines (notably the Apple Network Server) which use the
207 MACE ethernet chip have an Apple AUI port (small 15-pin connector),
208 instead of an 8-pin RJ45 connector for twisted-pair ethernet. Say
209 Y here if you have such a machine. If unsure, say N.
210 The driver will default to AAUI on ANS anyway, and if you use it as
211 a module, you can provide the port_aaui=0|1 to force the driver.
214 tristate "BMAC (G3 ethernet) support"

1598 bool "Use PIO instead of MMIO"
1602 This instructs the driver to use programmed I/O ports (PIO) instead
1603 of PCI shared memory (MMIO). This can possibly solve some problems
1604 in case your mainboard has memory consistency issues. If unsure,
1607 config 8139TOO_TUNE_TWISTER
1608 bool "Support for uncommon RTL-8139 rev. K (automatic channel equalization)"
1611 This implements a function which might come in handy in case you
1612 are using low quality on long cabling. It is required for RealTek
1613 RTL-8139 revision K boards, and totally unused otherwise. It tries
1614 to match the transceiver to the cable characteristics. This is
1615 experimental since hardly documented by the manufacturer.
1619 bool "Support for older RTL-8129/8130 boards"
1622 This enables support for the older and uncommon RTL-8129 and
1623 RTL-8130 chips, which support MII via an external transceiver,
1624 instead of an internal one. Disabling this option will save some
1625 memory by making the code size smaller. If unsure, say Y.
1627 config 8139_OLD_RX_RESET
1628 bool "Use older RX-reset method"
1631 The 8139too driver was recently updated to contain a more rapid
1632 reset sequence, in the face of severe receive errors. This "new"
1633 RX-reset method should be adequate for all boards. But if you

2484 bool "HIPPI driver support (EXPERIMENTAL)"
2485 depends on EXPERIMENTAL && INET && PCI
2487 HIgh Performance Parallel Interface (HIPPI) is a 800Mbit/sec and
2488 1600Mbit/sec dual-simplex switched or point-to-point network. HIPPI
2489 can run over copper (25m) or fiber (300m on multi-mode or 10km on
2490 single-mode). HIPPI networks are commonly used for clusters and to
2491 connect to super computers. If you are connected to a HIPPI network
2492 and have a HIPPI network card in your computer that you want to use
2493 under Linux, say Y here (you must also remember to enable the driver
2494 for your HIPPI card below). Most people will say N here.
2497 tristate "Essential RoadRunner HIPPI PCI adapter support (EXPERIMENTAL)"
2498 depends on HIPPI && PCI
2500 Say Y here if this is your PCI HIPPI network card.
2502 To compile this driver as a module, choose M here: the module
2503 will be called rrunner. If unsure, say N.
2505 config ROADRUNNER_LARGE_RINGS
2506 bool "Use large TX/RX rings (EXPERIMENTAL)"
2507 depends on ROADRUNNER
2509 If you say Y here, the RoadRunner driver will preallocate up to 2 MB
2510 of additional memory to allow for fastest operation, both for
2511 transmitting and receiving. This memory cannot be used by any other
2512 kernel code or by user space programs. Say Y here only if you have
2516 tristate "PLIP (parallel port) support"
2519 PLIP (Parallel Line Internet Protocol) is used to create a
2520 reasonably fast mini network consisting of two (or, rarely, more)
2521 local machines. A PLIP link from a Linux box is a popular means to
2522 install a Linux distribution on a machine which doesn't have a
2523 CD-ROM drive (a minimal system has to be transferred with floppies
2524 first). The kernels on both machines need to have this PLIP option
2525 enabled for this to work.
2527 The PLIP driver has two modes, mode 0 and mode 1. The parallel
2528 ports (the connectors at the computers with 25 holes) are connected
2529 with "null printer" or "Turbo Laplink" cables which can transmit 4
2530 bits at a time (mode 0) or with special PLIP cables, to be used on
2531 bidirectional parallel ports only, which can transmit 8 bits at a
2532 time (mode 1); you can find the wiring of these cables in
2533 <file:Documentation/networking/PLIP.txt>. The cables can be up to
2534 15m long. Mode 0 works also if one of the machines runs DOS/Windows
2535 and has some PLIP software installed, e.g. the Crynwr PLIP packet
2536 driver (<http://oak.oakland.edu/simtel.net/msdos/pktdrvr-pre.html>)
2537 and winsock or NCSA's telnet.
2539 If you want to use PLIP, say Y and read the PLIP mini-HOWTO as well
2540 as the NET-3-HOWTO, both available from
2541 <http://www.tldp.org/docs.html#howto>. Note that the PLIP
2542 protocol has been changed and this PLIP driver won't work together
2543 with the PLIP support in Linux versions 1.0.x. This option enlarges
2544 your kernel by about 8 KB.
2546 To compile this driver as a module, choose M here and read
2547 <file:Documentation/networking/net-modules.txt>. The module will be
2548 called plip. If unsure, say Y or M, in case you buy a laptop
2552 tristate "PPP (point-to-point protocol) support"
2554 PPP (Point to Point Protocol) is a newer and better SLIP. It serves
2555 the same purpose: sending Internet traffic over telephone (and other
2556 serial) lines. Ask your access provider if they support it, because
2557 otherwise you can't use it; most Internet access providers these
2558 days support PPP rather than SLIP.
2560 To use PPP, you need an additional program called pppd as described
2561 in the PPP-HOWTO, available at
2562 <http://www.tldp.org/docs.html#howto>. Make sure that you have
2563 the version of pppd recommended in <file:Documentation/Changes>.
2564 The PPP option enlarges your kernel by about 16 KB.
2566 There are actually two versions of PPP: the traditional PPP for
2567 asynchronous lines, such as regular analog phone lines, and
2568 synchronous PPP which can be used over digital ISDN lines for
2569 example. If you want to use PPP over phone lines or other
2570 asynchronous serial lines, you need to say Y (or M) here and also to
2571 the next option, "PPP support for async serial ports". For PPP over
2572 synchronous lines, you should say Y (or M) here and to "Support
2573 synchronous PPP", below.
2575 If you said Y to "Version information on all symbols" above, then
2576 you cannot compile the PPP driver into the kernel; you can then only
2577 compile it as a module. To compile this driver as a module, choose M
2578 here and read <file:Documentation/networking/net-modules.txt>.
2579 The module will be called ppp_generic.
2581 config PPP_MULTILINK
2582 bool "PPP multilink support (EXPERIMENTAL)"
2583 depends on PPP && EXPERIMENTAL
2585 PPP multilink is a protocol (defined in RFC 1990) which allows you
2586 to combine several (logical or physical) lines into one logical PPP
2587 connection, so that you can utilize your full bandwidth.
2589 This has to be supported at the other end as well and you need a
2590 version of the pppd daemon which understands the multilink protocol.
2595 bool "PPP filtering"
2598 Say Y here if you want to be able to filter the packets passing over
2599 PPP interfaces. This allows you to control which packets count as
2600 activity (i.e. which packets will reset the idle timer or bring up
2601 a demand-dialed link) and which packets are to be dropped entirely.
2602 You need to say Y here if you wish to use the pass-filter and
2603 active-filter options to pppd.
2608 tristate "PPP support for async serial ports"
2612 Say Y (or M) here if you want to be able to use PPP over standard
2613 asynchronous serial ports, such as COM1 or COM2 on a PC. If you use
2614 a modem (not a synchronous or ISDN modem) to contact your ISP, you
2617 To compile this driver as a module, choose M here.
2622 tristate "PPP support for sync tty ports"
2625 Say Y (or M) here if you want to be able to use PPP over synchronous
2626 (HDLC) tty devices, such as the SyncLink adapter. These devices
2627 are often used for high-speed leased lines like T1/E1.
2629 To compile this driver as a module, choose M here.
2632 tristate "PPP Deflate compression"
2637 Support for the Deflate compression method for PPP, which uses the
2638 Deflate algorithm (the same algorithm that gzip uses) to compress
2639 each PPP packet before it is sent over the wire. The machine at the
2640 other end of the PPP link (usually your ISP) has to support the
2641 Deflate compression method as well for this to be useful. Even if
2642 they don't support it, it is safe to say Y here.
2644 To compile this driver as a module, choose M here.
2647 tristate "PPP BSD-Compress compression"
2650 Support for the BSD-Compress compression method for PPP, which uses
2651 the LZW compression method to compress each PPP packet before it is
2652 sent over the wire. The machine at the other end of the PPP link
2653 (usually your ISP) has to support the BSD-Compress compression
2654 method as well for this to be useful. Even if they don't support it,
2655 it is safe to say Y here.
2657 The PPP Deflate compression method ("PPP Deflate compression",
2658 above) is preferable to BSD-Compress, because it compresses better
2661 Note that the BSD compression code will always be compiled as a
2662 module; it is called bsd_comp and will show up in the directory
2663 modules once you have said "make modules". If unsure, say N.
2666 tristate "PPP MPPE compression (encryption) (EXPERIMENTAL)"
2667 depends on PPP && EXPERIMENTAL
2672 Support for the MPPE Encryption protocol, as employed by the
2673 Microsoft Point-to-Point Tunneling Protocol.
2675 See http://pptpclient.sourceforge.net/ for information on
2676 configuring PPTP clients and servers to utilize this method.
2679 tristate "PPP over Ethernet (EXPERIMENTAL)"
2680 depends on EXPERIMENTAL && PPP
2682 Support for PPP over Ethernet.
2684 This driver requires the latest version of pppd from the CVS
2685 repository at cvs.samba.org. Alternatively, see the
2686 RoaringPenguin package (<http://www.roaringpenguin.com/pppoe>)
2687 which contains instruction on how to use this driver (under
2688 the heading "Kernel mode PPPoE").
2691 tristate "PPP over ATM"
2692 depends on ATM && PPP
2694 Support PPP (Point to Point Protocol) encapsulated in ATM frames.
2695 This implementation does not yet comply with section 8 of RFC2364,
2696 which can lead to bad results if the ATM peer loses state and
2697 changes its encapsulation unilaterally.
2700 tristate "SLIP (serial line) support"
2702 Say Y if you intend to use SLIP or CSLIP (compressed SLIP) to
2703 connect to your Internet service provider or to connect to some
2704 other local Unix box or if you want to configure your Linux box as a
2705 Slip/CSlip server for other people to dial in. SLIP (Serial Line
2706 Internet Protocol) is a protocol used to send Internet traffic over
2707 serial connections such as telephone lines or null modem cables;
2708 nowadays, the protocol PPP is more commonly used for this same
2711 Normally, your access provider has to support SLIP in order for you
2712 to be able to use it, but there is now a SLIP emulator called SLiRP
2713 around (available from
2714 <ftp://ibiblio.org/pub/Linux/system/network/serial/>) which
2715 allows you to use SLIP over a regular dial up shell connection. If
2716 you plan to use SLiRP, make sure to say Y to CSLIP, below. The
2717 NET-3-HOWTO, available from
2718 <http://www.tldp.org/docs.html#howto>, explains how to
2719 configure SLIP. Note that you don't need this option if you just
2720 want to run term (term is a program which gives you almost full
2721 Internet connectivity if you have a regular dial up shell account on
2722 some Internet connected Unix computer. Read
2723 <http://www.bart.nl/~patrickr/term-howto/Term-HOWTO.html>). SLIP
2724 support will enlarge your kernel by about 4 KB. If unsure, say N.
2726 To compile this driver as a module, choose M here and read
2727 <file:Documentation/networking/net-modules.txt>. The module will be
2730 config SLIP_COMPRESSED
2731 bool "CSLIP compressed headers"
2734 This protocol is faster than SLIP because it uses compression on the
2735 TCP/IP headers (not on the data itself), but it has to be supported
2736 on both ends. Ask your access provider if you are not sure and
2737 answer Y, just in case. You will still be able to use plain SLIP. If
2738 you plan to use SLiRP, the SLIP emulator (available from
2739 <ftp://ibiblio.org/pub/Linux/system/network/serial/>) which
2740 allows you to use SLIP over a regular dial up shell connection, you
2741 definitely want to say Y here. The NET-3-HOWTO, available from
2742 <http://www.tldp.org/docs.html#howto>, explains how to configure
2743 CSLIP. This won't enlarge your kernel.
2746 bool "Keepalive and linefill"
2749 Adds additional capabilities to the SLIP driver to support the
2750 RELCOM line fill and keepalive monitoring. Ideal on poor quality
2753 config SLIP_MODE_SLIP6
2754 bool "Six bit SLIP encapsulation"
2757 Just occasionally you may need to run IP over hostile serial
2758 networks that don't pass all control characters or are only seven
2759 bit. Saying Y here adds an extra mode you can use with SLIP:
2760 "slip6". In this mode, SLIP will only send normal ASCII symbols over
2761 the serial device. Naturally, this has to be supported at the other
2762 end of the link as well. It's good enough, for example, to run IP
2763 over the async ports of a Camtec JNT Pad. If unsure, say N.
2766 bool "Fibre Channel driver support"
2767 depends on SCSI && PCI
2769 Fibre Channel is a high speed serial protocol mainly used to connect
2770 large storage devices to the computer; it is compatible with and
2771 intended to replace SCSI.
2773 If you intend to use Fibre Channel, you need to have a Fibre channel
2774 adaptor card in your computer; say Y here and to the driver for your
2775 adaptor below. You also should have said Y to "SCSI support" and
2776 "SCSI generic support".
2779 tristate "Traffic Shaper (EXPERIMENTAL)"
2780 depends on EXPERIMENTAL
2782 The traffic shaper is a virtual network device that allows you to
2783 limit the rate of outgoing data flow over some other network device.
2784 The traffic that you want to slow down can then be routed through
2785 these virtual devices. See
2786 <file:Documentation/networking/shaper.txt> for more information.
2788 An alternative to this traffic shaper is the experimental
2789 Class-Based Queuing (CBQ) scheduling support which you get if you
2790 say Y to "QoS and/or fair queuing" above.
2792 To compile this driver as a module, choose M here: the module
2793 will be called shaper. If unsure, say N.
2796 tristate "Network console logging support (EXPERIMENTAL)"
2797 depends on EXPERIMENTAL
2799 If you want to log kernel messages over the network, enable this.
2800 See <file:Documentation/networking/netconsole.txt> for details.
2806 bool "Netpoll support for trapping incoming packets"
2811 bool "Netpoll traffic trapping"
2815 config NET_POLL_CONTROLLER
