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.

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.

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

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

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

191 Ethernet (also called IEEE 802.3 or ISO 8802-2) is the most common
192 type of Local Area Network (LAN) in universities and companies.
194 Common varieties of Ethernet are: 10BASE-2 or Thinnet (10 Mbps over
195 coaxial cable, linking computers in a chain), 10BASE-T or twisted
196 pair (10 Mbps over twisted pair cable, linking computers to central
197 hubs), 10BASE-F (10 Mbps over optical fiber links, using hubs),
198 100BASE-TX (100 Mbps over two twisted pair cables, using hubs),
199 100BASE-T4 (100 Mbps over 4 standard voice-grade twisted pair
200 cables, using hubs), 100BASE-FX (100 Mbps over optical fiber links)
201 [the 100BASE varieties are also known as Fast Ethernet], and Gigabit
202 Ethernet (1 Gbps over optical fiber or short copper links).

205 an Ethernet network interface card (NIC) installed in your computer,
206 say Y here and read the Ethernet-HOWTO, available from
207 <http://www.tldp.org/docs.html#howto>. You will then also have
208 to say Y to the driver for your particular NIC.
210 Note that the answer to this question won't directly affect the
211 kernel: saying N will just cause the configurator to skip all
212 the questions about Ethernet network cards. If unsure, say N.
217 tristate "Generic Media Independent Interface device support"

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

2727 This instructs the driver to use EISA or PCI memory-mapped I/O
2728 (MMIO) as appropriate instead of programmed I/O ports (PIO).
2729 Enabling this gives an improvement in processing time in parts
2730 of the driver, but it may cause problems with EISA (DEFEA)
2731 adapters. TURBOchannel does not have the concept of I/O ports,
2732 so MMIO is always used for these (DEFTA) adapters.

2794 If you say Y here, the RoadRunner driver will preallocate up to 2 MB
2795 of additional memory to allow for fastest operation, both for
2796 transmitting and receiving. This memory cannot be used by any other
2797 kernel code or by user space programs. Say Y here only if you have
2801 tristate "PLIP (parallel port) support"
2804 PLIP (Parallel Line Internet Protocol) is used to create a
2805 reasonably fast mini network consisting of two (or, rarely, more)
2806 local machines. A PLIP link from a Linux box is a popular means to
2807 install a Linux distribution on a machine which doesn't have a
2808 CD-ROM drive (a minimal system has to be transferred with floppies
2809 first). The kernels on both machines need to have this PLIP option
2810 enabled for this to work.
2812 The PLIP driver has two modes, mode 0 and mode 1. The parallel
2813 ports (the connectors at the computers with 25 holes) are connected
2814 with "null printer" or "Turbo Laplink" cables which can transmit 4
2815 bits at a time (mode 0) or with special PLIP cables, to be used on
2816 bidirectional parallel ports only, which can transmit 8 bits at a
2817 time (mode 1); you can find the wiring of these cables in
2818 <file:Documentation/networking/PLIP.txt>. The cables can be up to
2819 15m long. Mode 0 works also if one of the machines runs DOS/Windows
2820 and has some PLIP software installed, e.g. the Crynwr PLIP packet
2821 driver (<http://oak.oakland.edu/simtel.net/msdos/pktdrvr-pre.html>)
2822 and winsock or NCSA's telnet.
2824 If you want to use PLIP, say Y and read the PLIP mini-HOWTO as well
2825 as the NET-3-HOWTO, both available from
2826 <http://www.tldp.org/docs.html#howto>. Note that the PLIP
2827 protocol has been changed and this PLIP driver won't work together
2828 with the PLIP support in Linux versions 1.0.x. This option enlarges
2829 your kernel by about 8 KB.
2831 To compile this driver as a module, choose M here and read
2832 <file:Documentation/networking/net-modules.txt>. The module will be
2833 called plip. If unsure, say Y or M, in case you buy a laptop
2837 tristate "PPP (point-to-point protocol) support"
2840 PPP (Point to Point Protocol) is a newer and better SLIP. It serves
2841 the same purpose: sending Internet traffic over telephone (and other
2842 serial) lines. Ask your access provider if they support it, because
2843 otherwise you can't use it; most Internet access providers these
2844 days support PPP rather than SLIP.
2846 To use PPP, you need an additional program called pppd as described
2847 in the PPP-HOWTO, available at
2848 <http://www.tldp.org/docs.html#howto>. Make sure that you have
2849 the version of pppd recommended in <file:Documentation/Changes>.
2850 The PPP option enlarges your kernel by about 16 KB.
2852 There are actually two versions of PPP: the traditional PPP for
2853 asynchronous lines, such as regular analog phone lines, and
2854 synchronous PPP which can be used over digital ISDN lines for
2855 example. If you want to use PPP over phone lines or other
2856 asynchronous serial lines, you need to say Y (or M) here and also to
2857 the next option, "PPP support for async serial ports". For PPP over
2858 synchronous lines, you should say Y (or M) here and to "Support
2859 synchronous PPP", below.
2861 If you said Y to "Version information on all symbols" above, then
2862 you cannot compile the PPP driver into the kernel; you can then only
2863 compile it as a module. To compile this driver as a module, choose M
2864 here and read <file:Documentation/networking/net-modules.txt>.
2865 The module will be called ppp_generic.
2867 config PPP_MULTILINK
2868 bool "PPP multilink support (EXPERIMENTAL)"
2869 depends on PPP && EXPERIMENTAL
2871 PPP multilink is a protocol (defined in RFC 1990) which allows you
2872 to combine several (logical or physical) lines into one logical PPP
2873 connection, so that you can utilize your full bandwidth.
2875 This has to be supported at the other end as well and you need a
2876 version of the pppd daemon which understands the multilink protocol.
2881 bool "PPP filtering"
2884 Say Y here if you want to be able to filter the packets passing over
2885 PPP interfaces. This allows you to control which packets count as
2886 activity (i.e. which packets will reset the idle timer or bring up
2887 a demand-dialed link) and which packets are to be dropped entirely.
2888 You need to say Y here if you wish to use the pass-filter and
2889 active-filter options to pppd.
2894 tristate "PPP support for async serial ports"
2898 Say Y (or M) here if you want to be able to use PPP over standard
2899 asynchronous serial ports, such as COM1 or COM2 on a PC. If you use
2900 a modem (not a synchronous or ISDN modem) to contact your ISP, you
2903 To compile this driver as a module, choose M here.
2908 tristate "PPP support for sync tty ports"
2911 Say Y (or M) here if you want to be able to use PPP over synchronous
2912 (HDLC) tty devices, such as the SyncLink adapter. These devices
2913 are often used for high-speed leased lines like T1/E1.
2915 To compile this driver as a module, choose M here.
2918 tristate "PPP Deflate compression"
2923 Support for the Deflate compression method for PPP, which uses the
2924 Deflate algorithm (the same algorithm that gzip uses) to compress
2925 each PPP packet before it is sent over the wire. The machine at the
2926 other end of the PPP link (usually your ISP) has to support the
2927 Deflate compression method as well for this to be useful. Even if
2928 they don't support it, it is safe to say Y here.
2930 To compile this driver as a module, choose M here.
2933 tristate "PPP BSD-Compress compression"
2936 Support for the BSD-Compress compression method for PPP, which uses
2937 the LZW compression method to compress each PPP packet before it is
2938 sent over the wire. The machine at the other end of the PPP link
2939 (usually your ISP) has to support the BSD-Compress compression
2940 method as well for this to be useful. Even if they don't support it,
2941 it is safe to say Y here.
2943 The PPP Deflate compression method ("PPP Deflate compression",
2944 above) is preferable to BSD-Compress, because it compresses better
2947 Note that the BSD compression code will always be compiled as a
2948 module; it is called bsd_comp and will show up in the directory
2949 modules once you have said "make modules". If unsure, say N.
2952 tristate "PPP MPPE compression (encryption) (EXPERIMENTAL)"
2953 depends on PPP && EXPERIMENTAL
2959 Support for the MPPE Encryption protocol, as employed by the
2960 Microsoft Point-to-Point Tunneling Protocol.
2962 See http://pptpclient.sourceforge.net/ for information on
2963 configuring PPTP clients and servers to utilize this method.
2966 tristate "PPP over Ethernet (EXPERIMENTAL)"
2967 depends on EXPERIMENTAL && PPP
2969 Support for PPP over Ethernet.
2971 This driver requires the latest version of pppd from the CVS
2972 repository at cvs.samba.org. Alternatively, see the
2973 RoaringPenguin package (<http://www.roaringpenguin.com/pppoe>)
2974 which contains instruction on how to use this driver (under
2975 the heading "Kernel mode PPPoE").
2978 tristate "PPP over ATM"
2979 depends on ATM && PPP
2981 Support PPP (Point to Point Protocol) encapsulated in ATM frames.
2982 This implementation does not yet comply with section 8 of RFC2364,
2983 which can lead to bad results if the ATM peer loses state and
2984 changes its encapsulation unilaterally.
2987 tristate "PPP over L2TP (EXPERIMENTAL)"
2988 depends on EXPERIMENTAL && PPP && INET
2990 Support for PPP-over-L2TP socket family. L2TP is a protocol
2991 used by ISPs and enterprises to tunnel PPP traffic over UDP
2992 tunnels. L2TP is replacing PPTP for VPN uses.
2994 This kernel component handles only L2TP data packets: a
2995 userland daemon handles L2TP the control protocol (tunnel
2996 and session setup). One such daemon is OpenL2TP
2997 (http://openl2tp.sourceforge.net/).
3000 tristate "SLIP (serial line) support"
3002 Say Y if you intend to use SLIP or CSLIP (compressed SLIP) to
3003 connect to your Internet service provider or to connect to some
3004 other local Unix box or if you want to configure your Linux box as a
3005 Slip/CSlip server for other people to dial in. SLIP (Serial Line
3006 Internet Protocol) is a protocol used to send Internet traffic over
3007 serial connections such as telephone lines or null modem cables;
3008 nowadays, the protocol PPP is more commonly used for this same
3011 Normally, your access provider has to support SLIP in order for you
3012 to be able to use it, but there is now a SLIP emulator called SLiRP
3013 around (available from
3014 <ftp://ibiblio.org/pub/Linux/system/network/serial/>) which
3015 allows you to use SLIP over a regular dial up shell connection. If
3016 you plan to use SLiRP, make sure to say Y to CSLIP, below. The
3017 NET-3-HOWTO, available from
3018 <http://www.tldp.org/docs.html#howto>, explains how to
3019 configure SLIP. Note that you don't need this option if you just
3020 want to run term (term is a program which gives you almost full
3021 Internet connectivity if you have a regular dial up shell account on
3022 some Internet connected Unix computer. Read
3023 <http://www.bart.nl/~patrickr/term-howto/Term-HOWTO.html>). SLIP
3024 support will enlarge your kernel by about 4 KB. If unsure, say N.
3026 To compile this driver as a module, choose M here and read
3027 <file:Documentation/networking/net-modules.txt>. The module will be
3030 config SLIP_COMPRESSED
3031 bool "CSLIP compressed headers"
3035 This protocol is faster than SLIP because it uses compression on the
3036 TCP/IP headers (not on the data itself), but it has to be supported
3037 on both ends. Ask your access provider if you are not sure and
3038 answer Y, just in case. You will still be able to use plain SLIP. If
3039 you plan to use SLiRP, the SLIP emulator (available from
3040 <ftp://ibiblio.org/pub/Linux/system/network/serial/>) which
3041 allows you to use SLIP over a regular dial up shell connection, you
3042 definitely want to say Y here. The NET-3-HOWTO, available from
3043 <http://www.tldp.org/docs.html#howto>, explains how to configure
3044 CSLIP. This won't enlarge your kernel.
3049 This option enables Van Jacobsen serial line header compression
3053 bool "Keepalive and linefill"
3056 Adds additional capabilities to the SLIP driver to support the
3057 RELCOM line fill and keepalive monitoring. Ideal on poor quality
3060 config SLIP_MODE_SLIP6
3061 bool "Six bit SLIP encapsulation"
3064 Just occasionally you may need to run IP over hostile serial
3065 networks that don't pass all control characters or are only seven
3066 bit. Saying Y here adds an extra mode you can use with SLIP:
3067 "slip6". In this mode, SLIP will only send normal ASCII symbols over
3068 the serial device. Naturally, this has to be supported at the other
3069 end of the link as well. It's good enough, for example, to run IP
3070 over the async ports of a Camtec JNT Pad. If unsure, say N.
3073 bool "Fibre Channel driver support"
3074 depends on SCSI && PCI
3076 Fibre Channel is a high speed serial protocol mainly used to connect
3077 large storage devices to the computer; it is compatible with and
3078 intended to replace SCSI.
3080 If you intend to use Fibre Channel, you need to have a Fibre channel
3081 adaptor card in your computer; say Y here and to the driver for your
3082 adaptor below. You also should have said Y to "SCSI support" and
3083 "SCSI generic support".
3086 tristate "Traffic Shaper (OBSOLETE)"
3087 depends on EXPERIMENTAL
3089 The traffic shaper is a virtual network device that allows you to
3090 limit the rate of outgoing data flow over some other network device.
3091 The traffic that you want to slow down can then be routed through
3092 these virtual devices. See
3093 <file:Documentation/networking/shaper.txt> for more information.
3095 An alternative to this traffic shaper are traffic schedulers which
3096 you'll get if you say Y to "QoS and/or fair queuing" in
3097 "Networking options".
3099 To compile this driver as a module, choose M here: the module
3100 will be called shaper. If unsure, say N.
3103 tristate "Network console logging support (EXPERIMENTAL)"
3104 depends on EXPERIMENTAL
3106 If you want to log kernel messages over the network, enable this.
3107 See <file:Documentation/networking/netconsole.txt> for details.
3109 config NETCONSOLE_DYNAMIC
3110 bool "Dynamic reconfiguration of logging targets (EXPERIMENTAL)"
3111 depends on NETCONSOLE && SYSFS && EXPERIMENTAL
3114 This option enables the ability to dynamically reconfigure target
3115 parameters (interface, IP addresses, port numbers, MAC addresses)
3116 at runtime through a userspace interface exported using configfs.
3117 See <file:Documentation/networking/netconsole.txt> for details.
3123 bool "Netpoll traffic trapping"
3127 config NET_POLL_CONTROLLER
3131 tristate "Virtio network driver (EXPERIMENTAL)"
3132 depends on EXPERIMENTAL && VIRTIO
3134 This is the virtual network driver for lguest. Say Y or M.
