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.

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

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.

2052 will be called r8169. This is recommended.
2055 bool "Use Rx and Tx Polling (NAPI) (EXPERIMENTAL)"
2056 depends on R8169 && EXPERIMENTAL
2058 NAPI is a new driver API designed to reduce CPU and interrupt load
2059 when the driver is receiving lots of packets from the card. It is
2060 still somewhat experimental and thus not yet enabled by default.
2062 If your estimated Rx load is 10kpps or more, or if the card will be
2063 deployed on potentially unfriendly networks (e.g. in a firewall),
2066 See <file:Documentation/networking/NAPI_HOWTO.txt> for more

2108 Linksys EG1032/EG1064, 3Com 3C940/3C940B, SysKonnect SK-9871/9872.
2110 It does not support the newer Yukon2 chipset: a separate driver,
2111 sky2, is provided for Yukon2-based adapters.
2113 To compile this driver as a module, choose M here: the module
2114 will be called skge. This is recommended.
2117 tristate "SysKonnect Yukon2 support (EXPERIMENTAL)"
2121 This driver supports Gigabit Ethernet adapters based on the

2555 depends on (PCI || EISA || TC)
2557 Fiber Distributed Data Interface is a high speed local area network
2558 design; essentially a replacement for high speed Ethernet. FDDI can
2559 run over copper or fiber. If you are connected to such a network and
2560 want a driver for the FDDI card in your computer, say Y here (and
2561 then also Y to the driver for your FDDI card, below). Most people
2565 tristate "Digital DEFTA/DEFEA/DEFPA adapter support"
2566 depends on FDDI && (PCI || EISA || TC)
2568 This is support for the DIGITAL series of TURBOchannel (DEFTA),
2569 EISA (DEFEA) and PCI (DEFPA) controllers which can connect you
2570 to a local FDDI network.
2572 To compile this driver as a module, choose M here: the module
2573 will be called defxx. If unsure, say N.
2577 prompt "Use MMIO instead of PIO" if PCI || EISA
2579 default n if PCI || EISA
2582 This instructs the driver to use EISA or PCI memory-mapped I/O
2583 (MMIO) as appropriate instead of programmed I/O ports (PIO).
2584 Enabling this gives an improvement in processing time in parts
2585 of the driver, but it may cause problems with EISA (DEFEA)
2586 adapters. TURBOchannel does not have the concept of I/O ports,
2587 so MMIO is always used for these (DEFTA) adapters.
2592 tristate "SysKonnect FDDI PCI support"
2593 depends on FDDI && PCI

2620 To compile this driver as a module, choose M here: the module
2621 will be called skfp. This is recommended.
2624 bool "HIPPI driver support (EXPERIMENTAL)"
2625 depends on EXPERIMENTAL && INET && PCI
2627 HIgh Performance Parallel Interface (HIPPI) is a 800Mbit/sec and
2628 1600Mbit/sec dual-simplex switched or point-to-point network. HIPPI
2629 can run over copper (25m) or fiber (300m on multi-mode or 10km on
2630 single-mode). HIPPI networks are commonly used for clusters and to
2631 connect to super computers. If you are connected to a HIPPI network
2632 and have a HIPPI network card in your computer that you want to use
2633 under Linux, say Y here (you must also remember to enable the driver
2634 for your HIPPI card below). Most people will say N here.
2637 tristate "Essential RoadRunner HIPPI PCI adapter support (EXPERIMENTAL)"
2638 depends on HIPPI && PCI
2640 Say Y here if this is your PCI HIPPI network card.
2642 To compile this driver as a module, choose M here: the module
2643 will be called rrunner. If unsure, say N.
2645 config ROADRUNNER_LARGE_RINGS
2646 bool "Use large TX/RX rings (EXPERIMENTAL)"
2647 depends on ROADRUNNER
2649 If you say Y here, the RoadRunner driver will preallocate up to 2 MB
2650 of additional memory to allow for fastest operation, both for
2651 transmitting and receiving. This memory cannot be used by any other
2652 kernel code or by user space programs. Say Y here only if you have
2656 tristate "PLIP (parallel port) support"
2659 PLIP (Parallel Line Internet Protocol) is used to create a
2660 reasonably fast mini network consisting of two (or, rarely, more)
2661 local machines. A PLIP link from a Linux box is a popular means to
2662 install a Linux distribution on a machine which doesn't have a
2663 CD-ROM drive (a minimal system has to be transferred with floppies
2664 first). The kernels on both machines need to have this PLIP option
2665 enabled for this to work.
2667 The PLIP driver has two modes, mode 0 and mode 1. The parallel
2668 ports (the connectors at the computers with 25 holes) are connected
2669 with "null printer" or "Turbo Laplink" cables which can transmit 4
2670 bits at a time (mode 0) or with special PLIP cables, to be used on
2671 bidirectional parallel ports only, which can transmit 8 bits at a
2672 time (mode 1); you can find the wiring of these cables in
2673 <file:Documentation/networking/PLIP.txt>. The cables can be up to
2674 15m long. Mode 0 works also if one of the machines runs DOS/Windows
2675 and has some PLIP software installed, e.g. the Crynwr PLIP packet
2676 driver (<http://oak.oakland.edu/simtel.net/msdos/pktdrvr-pre.html>)
2677 and winsock or NCSA's telnet.
2679 If you want to use PLIP, say Y and read the PLIP mini-HOWTO as well
2680 as the NET-3-HOWTO, both available from
2681 <http://www.tldp.org/docs.html#howto>. Note that the PLIP
2682 protocol has been changed and this PLIP driver won't work together
2683 with the PLIP support in Linux versions 1.0.x. This option enlarges
2684 your kernel by about 8 KB.
2686 To compile this driver as a module, choose M here and read
2687 <file:Documentation/networking/net-modules.txt>. The module will be
2688 called plip. If unsure, say Y or M, in case you buy a laptop
2692 tristate "PPP (point-to-point protocol) support"
2695 PPP (Point to Point Protocol) is a newer and better SLIP. It serves
2696 the same purpose: sending Internet traffic over telephone (and other
2697 serial) lines. Ask your access provider if they support it, because
2698 otherwise you can't use it; most Internet access providers these
2699 days support PPP rather than SLIP.
2701 To use PPP, you need an additional program called pppd as described
2702 in the PPP-HOWTO, available at
2703 <http://www.tldp.org/docs.html#howto>. Make sure that you have
2704 the version of pppd recommended in <file:Documentation/Changes>.
2705 The PPP option enlarges your kernel by about 16 KB.
2707 There are actually two versions of PPP: the traditional PPP for
2708 asynchronous lines, such as regular analog phone lines, and
2709 synchronous PPP which can be used over digital ISDN lines for
2710 example. If you want to use PPP over phone lines or other
2711 asynchronous serial lines, you need to say Y (or M) here and also to
2712 the next option, "PPP support for async serial ports". For PPP over
2713 synchronous lines, you should say Y (or M) here and to "Support
2714 synchronous PPP", below.
2716 If you said Y to "Version information on all symbols" above, then
2717 you cannot compile the PPP driver into the kernel; you can then only
2718 compile it as a module. To compile this driver as a module, choose M
2719 here and read <file:Documentation/networking/net-modules.txt>.
2720 The module will be called ppp_generic.
2722 config PPP_MULTILINK
2723 bool "PPP multilink support (EXPERIMENTAL)"
2724 depends on PPP && EXPERIMENTAL
2726 PPP multilink is a protocol (defined in RFC 1990) which allows you
2727 to combine several (logical or physical) lines into one logical PPP
2728 connection, so that you can utilize your full bandwidth.
2730 This has to be supported at the other end as well and you need a
2731 version of the pppd daemon which understands the multilink protocol.
2736 bool "PPP filtering"
2739 Say Y here if you want to be able to filter the packets passing over
2740 PPP interfaces. This allows you to control which packets count as
2741 activity (i.e. which packets will reset the idle timer or bring up
2742 a demand-dialed link) and which packets are to be dropped entirely.
2743 You need to say Y here if you wish to use the pass-filter and
2744 active-filter options to pppd.
2749 tristate "PPP support for async serial ports"
2753 Say Y (or M) here if you want to be able to use PPP over standard
2754 asynchronous serial ports, such as COM1 or COM2 on a PC. If you use
2755 a modem (not a synchronous or ISDN modem) to contact your ISP, you
2758 To compile this driver as a module, choose M here.
2763 tristate "PPP support for sync tty ports"
2766 Say Y (or M) here if you want to be able to use PPP over synchronous
2767 (HDLC) tty devices, such as the SyncLink adapter. These devices
2768 are often used for high-speed leased lines like T1/E1.
2770 To compile this driver as a module, choose M here.
2773 tristate "PPP Deflate compression"
2778 Support for the Deflate compression method for PPP, which uses the
2779 Deflate algorithm (the same algorithm that gzip uses) to compress
2780 each PPP packet before it is sent over the wire. The machine at the
2781 other end of the PPP link (usually your ISP) has to support the
2782 Deflate compression method as well for this to be useful. Even if
2783 they don't support it, it is safe to say Y here.
2785 To compile this driver as a module, choose M here.
2788 tristate "PPP BSD-Compress compression"
2791 Support for the BSD-Compress compression method for PPP, which uses
2792 the LZW compression method to compress each PPP packet before it is
2793 sent over the wire. The machine at the other end of the PPP link
2794 (usually your ISP) has to support the BSD-Compress compression
2795 method as well for this to be useful. Even if they don't support it,
2796 it is safe to say Y here.
2798 The PPP Deflate compression method ("PPP Deflate compression",
2799 above) is preferable to BSD-Compress, because it compresses better
2802 Note that the BSD compression code will always be compiled as a
2803 module; it is called bsd_comp and will show up in the directory
2804 modules once you have said "make modules". If unsure, say N.
2807 tristate "PPP MPPE compression (encryption) (EXPERIMENTAL)"
2808 depends on PPP && EXPERIMENTAL
2814 Support for the MPPE Encryption protocol, as employed by the
2815 Microsoft Point-to-Point Tunneling Protocol.
2817 See http://pptpclient.sourceforge.net/ for information on
2818 configuring PPTP clients and servers to utilize this method.
2821 tristate "PPP over Ethernet (EXPERIMENTAL)"
2822 depends on EXPERIMENTAL && PPP
2824 Support for PPP over Ethernet.
2826 This driver requires the latest version of pppd from the CVS
2827 repository at cvs.samba.org. Alternatively, see the
2828 RoaringPenguin package (<http://www.roaringpenguin.com/pppoe>)
2829 which contains instruction on how to use this driver (under
2830 the heading "Kernel mode PPPoE").
2833 tristate "PPP over ATM"
2834 depends on ATM && PPP
2836 Support PPP (Point to Point Protocol) encapsulated in ATM frames.
2837 This implementation does not yet comply with section 8 of RFC2364,
2838 which can lead to bad results if the ATM peer loses state and
2839 changes its encapsulation unilaterally.
2842 tristate "SLIP (serial line) support"
2844 Say Y if you intend to use SLIP or CSLIP (compressed SLIP) to
2845 connect to your Internet service provider or to connect to some
2846 other local Unix box or if you want to configure your Linux box as a
2847 Slip/CSlip server for other people to dial in. SLIP (Serial Line
2848 Internet Protocol) is a protocol used to send Internet traffic over
2849 serial connections such as telephone lines or null modem cables;
2850 nowadays, the protocol PPP is more commonly used for this same
2853 Normally, your access provider has to support SLIP in order for you
2854 to be able to use it, but there is now a SLIP emulator called SLiRP
2855 around (available from
2856 <ftp://ibiblio.org/pub/Linux/system/network/serial/>) which
2857 allows you to use SLIP over a regular dial up shell connection. If
2858 you plan to use SLiRP, make sure to say Y to CSLIP, below. The
2859 NET-3-HOWTO, available from
2860 <http://www.tldp.org/docs.html#howto>, explains how to
2861 configure SLIP. Note that you don't need this option if you just
2862 want to run term (term is a program which gives you almost full
2863 Internet connectivity if you have a regular dial up shell account on
2864 some Internet connected Unix computer. Read
2865 <http://www.bart.nl/~patrickr/term-howto/Term-HOWTO.html>). SLIP
2866 support will enlarge your kernel by about 4 KB. If unsure, say N.
2868 To compile this driver as a module, choose M here and read
2869 <file:Documentation/networking/net-modules.txt>. The module will be
2872 config SLIP_COMPRESSED
2873 bool "CSLIP compressed headers"
2877 This protocol is faster than SLIP because it uses compression on the
2878 TCP/IP headers (not on the data itself), but it has to be supported
2879 on both ends. Ask your access provider if you are not sure and
2880 answer Y, just in case. You will still be able to use plain SLIP. If
2881 you plan to use SLiRP, the SLIP emulator (available from
2882 <ftp://ibiblio.org/pub/Linux/system/network/serial/>) which
2883 allows you to use SLIP over a regular dial up shell connection, you
2884 definitely want to say Y here. The NET-3-HOWTO, available from
2885 <http://www.tldp.org/docs.html#howto>, explains how to configure
2886 CSLIP. This won't enlarge your kernel.
2891 This option enables Van Jacobsen serial line header compression
2895 bool "Keepalive and linefill"
2898 Adds additional capabilities to the SLIP driver to support the
2899 RELCOM line fill and keepalive monitoring. Ideal on poor quality
2902 config SLIP_MODE_SLIP6
2903 bool "Six bit SLIP encapsulation"
2906 Just occasionally you may need to run IP over hostile serial
2907 networks that don't pass all control characters or are only seven
2908 bit. Saying Y here adds an extra mode you can use with SLIP:
2909 "slip6". In this mode, SLIP will only send normal ASCII symbols over
2910 the serial device. Naturally, this has to be supported at the other
2911 end of the link as well. It's good enough, for example, to run IP
2912 over the async ports of a Camtec JNT Pad. If unsure, say N.
2915 bool "Fibre Channel driver support"
2916 depends on SCSI && PCI
2918 Fibre Channel is a high speed serial protocol mainly used to connect
2919 large storage devices to the computer; it is compatible with and
2920 intended to replace SCSI.
2922 If you intend to use Fibre Channel, you need to have a Fibre channel
2923 adaptor card in your computer; say Y here and to the driver for your
2924 adaptor below. You also should have said Y to "SCSI support" and
2925 "SCSI generic support".
2928 tristate "Traffic Shaper (OBSOLETE)"
2929 depends on EXPERIMENTAL
2931 The traffic shaper is a virtual network device that allows you to
2932 limit the rate of outgoing data flow over some other network device.
2933 The traffic that you want to slow down can then be routed through
2934 these virtual devices. See
2935 <file:Documentation/networking/shaper.txt> for more information.
2937 An alternative to this traffic shaper are traffic schedulers which
2938 you'll get if you say Y to "QoS and/or fair queuing" in
2939 "Networking options".
2941 To compile this driver as a module, choose M here: the module
2942 will be called shaper. If unsure, say N.
2945 tristate "Network console logging support (EXPERIMENTAL)"
2946 depends on EXPERIMENTAL
2948 If you want to log kernel messages over the network, enable this.
2949 See <file:Documentation/networking/netconsole.txt> for details.
2957 bool "Netpoll traffic trapping"
2961 config NET_POLL_CONTROLLER
