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.

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 perfomance 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.

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"

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

1572 bool "Use PIO instead of MMIO"
1576 This instructs the driver to use programmed I/O ports (PIO) instead
1577 of PCI shared memory (MMIO). This can possibly solve some problems
1578 in case your mainboard has memory consistency issues. If unsure,
1581 config 8139TOO_TUNE_TWISTER
1582 bool "Support for uncommon RTL-8139 rev. K (automatic channel equalization)"
1585 This implements a function which might come in handy in case you
1586 are using low quality on long cabling. It is required for RealTek
1587 RTL-8139 revision K boards, and totally unused otherwise. It tries
1588 to match the transceiver to the cable characteristics. This is
1589 experimental since hardly documented by the manufacturer.
1593 bool "Support for older RTL-8129/8130 boards"
1596 This enables support for the older and uncommon RTL-8129 and
1597 RTL-8130 chips, which support MII via an external transceiver,
1598 instead of an internal one. Disabling this option will save some
1599 memory by making the code size smaller. If unsure, say Y.

1602 bool "Use older RX-reset method"
1605 The 8139too driver was recently updated to contain a more rapid
1606 reset sequence, in the face of severe receive errors. This "new"
1607 RX-reset method should be adequate for all boards. But if you
1608 experience problems, you can enable this option to restore the
1609 old RX-reset behavior. If unsure, say N.

2378 will be called skfp. This is recommended.
2381 bool "HIPPI driver support (EXPERIMENTAL)"
2382 depends on EXPERIMENTAL && INET && PCI
2384 HIgh Performance Parallel Interface (HIPPI) is a 800Mbit/sec and
2385 1600Mbit/sec dual-simplex switched or point-to-point network. HIPPI
2386 can run over copper (25m) or fiber (300m on multi-mode or 10km on
2387 single-mode). HIPPI networks are commonly used for clusters and to
2388 connect to super computers. If you are connected to a HIPPI network
2389 and have a HIPPI network card in your computer that you want to use
2390 under Linux, say Y here (you must also remember to enable the driver
2391 for your HIPPI card below). Most people will say N here.
2394 tristate "Essential RoadRunner HIPPI PCI adapter support (EXPERIMENTAL)"
2395 depends on HIPPI && PCI
2397 Say Y here if this is your PCI HIPPI network card.
2399 To compile this driver as a module, choose M here: the module
2400 will be called rrunner. If unsure, say N.
2402 config ROADRUNNER_LARGE_RINGS
2403 bool "Use large TX/RX rings (EXPERIMENTAL)"
2404 depends on ROADRUNNER
2406 If you say Y here, the RoadRunner driver will preallocate up to 2 MB
2407 of additional memory to allow for fastest operation, both for
2408 transmitting and receiving. This memory cannot be used by any other
2409 kernel code or by user space programs. Say Y here only if you have
2413 tristate "PLIP (parallel port) support"
2416 PLIP (Parallel Line Internet Protocol) is used to create a
2417 reasonably fast mini network consisting of two (or, rarely, more)
2418 local machines. A PLIP link from a Linux box is a popular means to
2419 install a Linux distribution on a machine which doesn't have a
2420 CD-ROM drive (a minimal system has to be transferred with floppies
2421 first). The kernels on both machines need to have this PLIP option
2422 enabled for this to work.
2424 The PLIP driver has two modes, mode 0 and mode 1. The parallel
2425 ports (the connectors at the computers with 25 holes) are connected
2426 with "null printer" or "Turbo Laplink" cables which can transmit 4
2427 bits at a time (mode 0) or with special PLIP cables, to be used on
2428 bidirectional parallel ports only, which can transmit 8 bits at a
2429 time (mode 1); you can find the wiring of these cables in
2430 <file:Documentation/networking/PLIP.txt>. The cables can be up to
2431 15m long. Mode 0 works also if one of the machines runs DOS/Windows
2432 and has some PLIP software installed, e.g. the Crynwr PLIP packet
2433 driver (<http://oak.oakland.edu/simtel.net/msdos/pktdrvr-pre.html>)
2434 and winsock or NCSA's telnet.
2436 If you want to use PLIP, say Y and read the PLIP mini-HOWTO as well
2437 as the NET-3-HOWTO, both available from
2438 <http://www.tldp.org/docs.html#howto>. Note that the PLIP
2439 protocol has been changed and this PLIP driver won't work together
2440 with the PLIP support in Linux versions 1.0.x. This option enlarges
2441 your kernel by about 8 KB.
2443 To compile this driver as a module, choose M here and read
2444 <file:Documentation/networking/net-modules.txt>. The module will be
2445 called plip. If unsure, say Y or M, in case you buy a laptop
2449 tristate "PPP (point-to-point protocol) support"
2451 PPP (Point to Point Protocol) is a newer and better SLIP. It serves
2452 the same purpose: sending Internet traffic over telephone (and other
2453 serial) lines. Ask your access provider if they support it, because
2454 otherwise you can't use it; most Internet access providers these
2455 days support PPP rather than SLIP.
2457 To use PPP, you need an additional program called pppd as described
2458 in the PPP-HOWTO, available at
2459 <http://www.tldp.org/docs.html#howto>. Make sure that you have
2460 the version of pppd recommended in <file:Documentation/Changes>.
2461 The PPP option enlarges your kernel by about 16 KB.
2463 There are actually two versions of PPP: the traditional PPP for
2464 asynchronous lines, such as regular analog phone lines, and
2465 synchronous PPP which can be used over digital ISDN lines for
2466 example. If you want to use PPP over phone lines or other
2467 asynchronous serial lines, you need to say Y (or M) here and also to
2468 the next option, "PPP support for async serial ports". For PPP over
2469 synchronous lines, you should say Y (or M) here and to "Support
2470 synchronous PPP", below.
2472 If you said Y to "Version information on all symbols" above, then
2473 you cannot compile the PPP driver into the kernel; you can then only
2474 compile it as a module. To compile this driver as a module, choose M
2475 here and read <file:Documentation/networking/net-modules.txt>.
2476 The module will be called ppp_generic.
2478 config PPP_MULTILINK
2479 bool "PPP multilink support (EXPERIMENTAL)"
2480 depends on PPP && EXPERIMENTAL
2482 PPP multilink is a protocol (defined in RFC 1990) which allows you
2483 to combine several (logical or physical) lines into one logical PPP
2484 connection, so that you can utilize your full bandwidth.
2486 This has to be supported at the other end as well and you need a
2487 version of the pppd daemon which understands the multilink protocol.
2492 bool "PPP filtering"
2495 Say Y here if you want to be able to filter the packets passing over
2496 PPP interfaces. This allows you to control which packets count as
2497 activity (i.e. which packets will reset the idle timer or bring up
2498 a demand-dialled link) and which packets are to be dropped entirely.
2499 You need to say Y here if you wish to use the pass-filter and
2500 active-filter options to pppd.
2505 tristate "PPP support for async serial ports"
2509 Say Y (or M) here if you want to be able to use PPP over standard
2510 asynchronous serial ports, such as COM1 or COM2 on a PC. If you use
2511 a modem (not a synchronous or ISDN modem) to contact your ISP, you
2514 To compile this driver as a module, choose M here.
2519 tristate "PPP support for sync tty ports"
2522 Say Y (or M) here if you want to be able to use PPP over synchronous
2523 (HDLC) tty devices, such as the SyncLink adapter. These devices
2524 are often used for high-speed leased lines like T1/E1.
2526 To compile this driver as a module, choose M here.
2529 tristate "PPP Deflate compression"
2534 Support for the Deflate compression method for PPP, which uses the
2535 Deflate algorithm (the same algorithm that gzip uses) to compress
2536 each PPP packet before it is sent over the wire. The machine at the
2537 other end of the PPP link (usually your ISP) has to support the
2538 Deflate compression method as well for this to be useful. Even if
2539 they don't support it, it is safe to say Y here.
2541 To compile this driver as a module, choose M here.
2544 tristate "PPP BSD-Compress compression"
2547 Support for the BSD-Compress compression method for PPP, which uses
2548 the LZW compression method to compress each PPP packet before it is
2549 sent over the wire. The machine at the other end of the PPP link
2550 (usually your ISP) has to support the BSD-Compress compression
2551 method as well for this to be useful. Even if they don't support it,
2552 it is safe to say Y here.
2554 The PPP Deflate compression method ("PPP Deflate compression",
2555 above) is preferable to BSD-Compress, because it compresses better
2558 Note that the BSD compression code will always be compiled as a
2559 module; it is called bsd_comp and will show up in the directory
2560 modules once you have said "make modules". If unsure, say N.
2563 tristate "PPP MPPE compression (encryption) (EXPERIMENTAL)"
2564 depends on PPP && EXPERIMENTAL
2569 Support for the MPPE Encryption protocol, as employed by the
2570 Microsoft Point-to-Point Tunneling Protocol.
2572 See http://pptpclient.sourceforge.net/ for information on
2573 configuring PPTP clients and servers to utilize this method.
2576 tristate "PPP over Ethernet (EXPERIMENTAL)"
2577 depends on EXPERIMENTAL && PPP
2579 Support for PPP over Ethernet.
2581 This driver requires the latest version of pppd from the CVS
2582 repository at cvs.samba.org. Alternatively, see the
2583 RoaringPenguin package (<http://www.roaringpenguin.com/pppoe>)
2584 which contains instruction on how to use this driver (under
2585 the heading "Kernel mode PPPoE").
2588 tristate "PPP over ATM"
2589 depends on ATM && PPP
2591 Support PPP (Point to Point Protocol) encapsulated in ATM frames.
2592 This implementation does not yet comply with section 8 of RFC2364,
2593 which can lead to bad results if the ATM peer loses state and
2594 changes its encapsulation unilaterally.
2597 tristate "SLIP (serial line) support"
2599 Say Y if you intend to use SLIP or CSLIP (compressed SLIP) to
2600 connect to your Internet service provider or to connect to some
2601 other local Unix box or if you want to configure your Linux box as a
2602 Slip/CSlip server for other people to dial in. SLIP (Serial Line
2603 Internet Protocol) is a protocol used to send Internet traffic over
2604 serial connections such as telephone lines or null modem cables;
2605 nowadays, the protocol PPP is more commonly used for this same
2608 Normally, your access provider has to support SLIP in order for you
2609 to be able to use it, but there is now a SLIP emulator called SLiRP
2610 around (available from
2611 <ftp://ibiblio.org/pub/Linux/system/network/serial/>) which
2612 allows you to use SLIP over a regular dial up shell connection. If
2613 you plan to use SLiRP, make sure to say Y to CSLIP, below. The
2614 NET-3-HOWTO, available from
2615 <http://www.tldp.org/docs.html#howto>, explains how to
2616 configure SLIP. Note that you don't need this option if you just
2617 want to run term (term is a program which gives you almost full
2618 Internet connectivity if you have a regular dial up shell account on
2619 some Internet connected Unix computer. Read
2620 <http://www.bart.nl/~patrickr/term-howto/Term-HOWTO.html>). SLIP
2621 support will enlarge your kernel by about 4 KB. If unsure, say N.
2623 To compile this driver as a module, choose M here and read
2624 <file:Documentation/networking/net-modules.txt>. The module will be
2627 config SLIP_COMPRESSED
2628 bool "CSLIP compressed headers"
2631 This protocol is faster than SLIP because it uses compression on the
2632 TCP/IP headers (not on the data itself), but it has to be supported
2633 on both ends. Ask your access provider if you are not sure and
2634 answer Y, just in case. You will still be able to use plain SLIP. If
2635 you plan to use SLiRP, the SLIP emulator (available from
2636 <ftp://ibiblio.org/pub/Linux/system/network/serial/>) which
2637 allows you to use SLIP over a regular dial up shell connection, you
2638 definitely want to say Y here. The NET-3-HOWTO, available from
2639 <http://www.tldp.org/docs.html#howto>, explains how to configure
2640 CSLIP. This won't enlarge your kernel.
2643 bool "Keepalive and linefill"
2646 Adds additional capabilities to the SLIP driver to support the
2647 RELCOM line fill and keepalive monitoring. Ideal on poor quality
2650 config SLIP_MODE_SLIP6
2651 bool "Six bit SLIP encapsulation"
2654 Just occasionally you may need to run IP over hostile serial
2655 networks that don't pass all control characters or are only seven
2656 bit. Saying Y here adds an extra mode you can use with SLIP:
2657 "slip6". In this mode, SLIP will only send normal ASCII symbols over
2658 the serial device. Naturally, this has to be supported at the other
2659 end of the link as well. It's good enough, for example, to run IP
2660 over the async ports of a Camtec JNT Pad. If unsure, say N.
2663 bool "Fibre Channel driver support"
2664 depends on SCSI && PCI
2666 Fibre Channel is a high speed serial protocol mainly used to connect
2667 large storage devices to the computer; it is compatible with and
2668 intended to replace SCSI.
2670 If you intend to use Fibre Channel, you need to have a Fibre channel
2671 adaptor card in your computer; say Y here and to the driver for your
2672 adaptor below. You also should have said Y to "SCSI support" and
2673 "SCSI generic support".
2676 tristate "Traffic Shaper (EXPERIMENTAL)"
2677 depends on EXPERIMENTAL
2679 The traffic shaper is a virtual network device that allows you to
2680 limit the rate of outgoing data flow over some other network device.
2681 The traffic that you want to slow down can then be routed through
2682 these virtual devices. See
2683 <file:Documentation/networking/shaper.txt> for more information.
2685 An alternative to this traffic shaper is the experimental
2686 Class-Based Queueing (CBQ) scheduling support which you get if you
2687 say Y to "QoS and/or fair queueing" above.
2689 To compile this driver as a module, choose M here: the module
2690 will be called shaper. If unsure, say N.
2693 tristate "Network console logging support (EXPERIMENTAL)"
2694 depends on EXPERIMENTAL
2696 If you want to log kernel messages over the network, enable this.
2697 See <file:Documentation/networking/netconsole.txt> for details.
