8 bool "Network device support"
10 You can say N here if you don't intend to connect your Linux box to
11 any other computer at all.
13 You'll have to say Y if your computer contains a network card that
14 you want to use under Linux. If you are going to run SLIP or PPP over
15 telephone line or null modem cable you need say Y here. Connecting
16 two machines with parallel ports using PLIP needs this, as well as
17 AX.25/KISS for sending Internet traffic over amateur radio links.

30 depends on NET_CLS_ACT
32 This is an intermediate 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"
63 depends on IPV6 || IPV6=n
65 Say 'Y' or 'M' if you wish to be able to 'bond' multiple Ethernet
66 Channels together. This is called 'Etherchannel' by Cisco,
67 'Trunking' by Sun, 802.3ad by the IEEE, and 'Bonding' in Linux.
69 The driver supports multiple bonding modes to allow for both high
70 performance and high availability operation.
72 Refer to <file:Documentation/networking/bonding.txt> for more
75 To compile this driver as a module, choose M here: the module
76 will be called bonding.
79 tristate "MAC-VLAN support (EXPERIMENTAL)"
80 depends on EXPERIMENTAL
82 This allows one to create virtual interfaces that map packets to
83 or from specific MAC addresses to a particular interface.
85 Macvlan devices can be added using the "ip" command from the
86 iproute2 package starting with the iproute2-2.6.23 release:
88 "ip link add link <real dev> [ address MAC ] [ NAME ] type macvlan"
90 To compile this driver as a module, choose M here: the module
91 will be called macvlan.
94 tristate "EQL (serial line load balancing) support"
96 If you have two serial connections to some other computer (this
97 usually requires two modems and two telephone lines) and you use
98 SLIP (the protocol for sending Internet traffic over telephone
99 lines) or PPP (a better SLIP) on them, you can make them behave like
100 one double speed connection using this driver. Naturally, this has
101 to be supported at the other end as well, either with a similar EQL
102 Linux driver or with a Livingston Portmaster 2e.
104 Say Y if you want this and read
105 <file:Documentation/networking/eql.txt>. You may also want to read
106 section 6.2 of the NET-3-HOWTO, available from

110 will be called eql. If unsure, say N.
113 tristate "Universal TUN/TAP device driver support"
116 TUN/TAP provides packet reception and transmission for user space
117 programs. It can be viewed as a simple Point-to-Point or Ethernet
118 device, which instead of receiving packets from a physical media,
119 receives them from user space program and instead of sending packets
120 via physical media writes them to the user space program.
122 When a program opens /dev/net/tun, driver creates and registers
123 corresponding net device tunX or tapX. After a program closed above
124 devices, driver will automatically delete tunXX or tapXX device and
125 all routes corresponding to it.
127 Please read <file:Documentation/networking/tuntap.txt> for more
130 To compile this driver as a module, choose M here: the module
133 If you don't know what to use this for, you don't need it.

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

178 Ethernet (also called IEEE 802.3 or ISO 8802-2) is the most common
179 type of Local Area Network (LAN) in universities and companies.
181 Common varieties of Ethernet are: 10BASE-2 or Thinnet (10 Mbps over
182 coaxial cable, linking computers in a chain), 10BASE-T or twisted
183 pair (10 Mbps over twisted pair cable, linking computers to central
184 hubs), 10BASE-F (10 Mbps over optical fiber links, using hubs),
185 100BASE-TX (100 Mbps over two twisted pair cables, using hubs),
186 100BASE-T4 (100 Mbps over 4 standard voice-grade twisted pair
187 cables, using hubs), 100BASE-FX (100 Mbps over optical fiber links)
188 [the 100BASE varieties are also known as Fast Ethernet], and Gigabit
189 Ethernet (1 Gbps over optical fiber or short copper links).
191 If your Linux machine will be connected to an Ethernet and you have
192 an Ethernet network interface card (NIC) installed in your computer,
193 say Y here and read the Ethernet-HOWTO, available from
194 <http://www.tldp.org/docs.html#howto>. You will then also have
195 to say Y to the driver for your particular NIC.
197 Note that the answer to this question won't directly affect the
198 kernel: saying N will just cause the configurator to skip all
199 the questions about Ethernet network cards. If unsure, say N.
204 tristate "Generic Media Independent Interface device support"
206 Most ethernet controllers have MII transceiver either as an external
207 or internal device. It is safe to say Y or M here even if your

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

2789 Fiber Distributed Data Interface is a high speed local area network
2790 design; essentially a replacement for high speed Ethernet. FDDI can
2791 run over copper or fiber. If you are connected to such a network and
2792 want a driver for the FDDI card in your computer, say Y here (and
2793 then also Y to the driver for your FDDI card, below). Most people
2797 tristate "Digital DEFTA/DEFEA/DEFPA adapter support"
2798 depends on FDDI && (PCI || EISA || TC)
2800 This is support for the DIGITAL series of TURBOchannel (DEFTA),
2801 EISA (DEFEA) and PCI (DEFPA) controllers which can connect you
2802 to a local FDDI network.
2804 To compile this driver as a module, choose M here: the module
2805 will be called defxx. If unsure, say N.
2809 prompt "Use MMIO instead of PIO" if PCI || EISA
2811 default n if PCI || EISA
2814 This instructs the driver to use EISA or PCI memory-mapped I/O
2815 (MMIO) as appropriate instead of programmed I/O ports (PIO).
2816 Enabling this gives an improvement in processing time in parts
2817 of the driver, but it may cause problems with EISA (DEFEA)
2818 adapters. TURBOchannel does not have the concept of I/O ports,
2819 so MMIO is always used for these (DEFTA) adapters.
2824 tristate "SysKonnect FDDI PCI support"

2859 HIgh Performance Parallel Interface (HIPPI) is a 800Mbit/sec and
2860 1600Mbit/sec dual-simplex switched or point-to-point network. HIPPI
2861 can run over copper (25m) or fiber (300m on multi-mode or 10km on
2862 single-mode). HIPPI networks are commonly used for clusters and to
2863 connect to super computers. If you are connected to a HIPPI network
2864 and have a HIPPI network card in your computer that you want to use
2865 under Linux, say Y here (you must also remember to enable the driver
2866 for your HIPPI card below). Most people will say N here.

2882 of additional memory to allow for fastest operation, both for
2883 transmitting and receiving. This memory cannot be used by any other
2884 kernel code or by user space programs. Say Y here only if you have
2888 tristate "PLIP (parallel port) support"
2891 PLIP (Parallel Line Internet Protocol) is used to create a
2892 reasonably fast mini network consisting of two (or, rarely, more)
2893 local machines. A PLIP link from a Linux box is a popular means to
2894 install a Linux distribution on a machine which doesn't have a
2895 CD-ROM drive (a minimal system has to be transferred with floppies
2896 first). The kernels on both machines need to have this PLIP option
2897 enabled for this to work.
2899 The PLIP driver has two modes, mode 0 and mode 1. The parallel
2900 ports (the connectors at the computers with 25 holes) are connected
2901 with "null printer" or "Turbo Laplink" cables which can transmit 4
2902 bits at a time (mode 0) or with special PLIP cables, to be used on
2903 bidirectional parallel ports only, which can transmit 8 bits at a
2904 time (mode 1); you can find the wiring of these cables in
2905 <file:Documentation/networking/PLIP.txt>. The cables can be up to
2906 15m long. Mode 0 works also if one of the machines runs DOS/Windows
2907 and has some PLIP software installed, e.g. the Crynwr PLIP packet
2908 driver (<http://oak.oakland.edu/simtel.net/msdos/pktdrvr-pre.html>)
2909 and winsock or NCSA's telnet.
2911 If you want to use PLIP, say Y and read the PLIP mini-HOWTO as well
2912 as the NET-3-HOWTO, both available from
2913 <http://www.tldp.org/docs.html#howto>. Note that the PLIP
2914 protocol has been changed and this PLIP driver won't work together
2915 with the PLIP support in Linux versions 1.0.x. This option enlarges
2916 your kernel by about 8 KB.
2918 To compile this driver as a module, choose M here. The module
2919 will be called plip. If unsure, say Y or M, in case you buy

2926 PPP (Point to Point Protocol) is a newer and better SLIP. It serves
2927 the same purpose: sending Internet traffic over telephone (and other
2928 serial) lines. Ask your access provider if they support it, because
2929 otherwise you can't use it; most Internet access providers these
2930 days support PPP rather than SLIP.
2932 To use PPP, you need an additional program called pppd as described
2933 in the PPP-HOWTO, available at
2934 <http://www.tldp.org/docs.html#howto>. Make sure that you have
2935 the version of pppd recommended in <file:Documentation/Changes>.
2936 The PPP option enlarges your kernel by about 16 KB.
2938 There are actually two versions of PPP: the traditional PPP for
2939 asynchronous lines, such as regular analog phone lines, and
2940 synchronous PPP which can be used over digital ISDN lines for
2941 example. If you want to use PPP over phone lines or other
2942 asynchronous serial lines, you need to say Y (or M) here and also to
2943 the next option, "PPP support for async serial ports". For PPP over
2944 synchronous lines, you should say Y (or M) here and to "Support
2945 synchronous PPP", below.
2947 If you said Y to "Version information on all symbols" above, then
2948 you cannot compile the PPP driver into the kernel; you can then only
2949 compile it as a module. To compile this driver as a module, choose M
2950 here. The module will be called ppp_generic.
2952 config PPP_MULTILINK
2953 bool "PPP multilink support (EXPERIMENTAL)"
2954 depends on PPP && EXPERIMENTAL
2956 PPP multilink is a protocol (defined in RFC 1990) which allows you
2957 to combine several (logical or physical) lines into one logical PPP
2958 connection, so that you can utilize your full bandwidth.
2960 This has to be supported at the other end as well and you need a
2961 version of the pppd daemon which understands the multilink protocol.
2966 bool "PPP filtering"
2969 Say Y here if you want to be able to filter the packets passing over
2970 PPP interfaces. This allows you to control which packets count as
2971 activity (i.e. which packets will reset the idle timer or bring up
2972 a demand-dialed link) and which packets are to be dropped entirely.
2973 You need to say Y here if you wish to use the pass-filter and
2974 active-filter options to pppd.
2979 tristate "PPP support for async serial ports"
2983 Say Y (or M) here if you want to be able to use PPP over standard
2984 asynchronous serial ports, such as COM1 or COM2 on a PC. If you use
2985 a modem (not a synchronous or ISDN modem) to contact your ISP, you
2988 To compile this driver as a module, choose M here.
2993 tristate "PPP support for sync tty ports"
2996 Say Y (or M) here if you want to be able to use PPP over synchronous
2997 (HDLC) tty devices, such as the SyncLink adapter. These devices
2998 are often used for high-speed leased lines like T1/E1.
3000 To compile this driver as a module, choose M here.
3003 tristate "PPP Deflate compression"
3008 Support for the Deflate compression method for PPP, which uses the
3009 Deflate algorithm (the same algorithm that gzip uses) to compress
3010 each PPP packet before it is sent over the wire. The machine at the
3011 other end of the PPP link (usually your ISP) has to support the
3012 Deflate compression method as well for this to be useful. Even if
3013 they don't support it, it is safe to say Y here.
3015 To compile this driver as a module, choose M here.
3018 tristate "PPP BSD-Compress compression"
3021 Support for the BSD-Compress compression method for PPP, which uses
3022 the LZW compression method to compress each PPP packet before it is
3023 sent over the wire. The machine at the other end of the PPP link
3024 (usually your ISP) has to support the BSD-Compress compression
3025 method as well for this to be useful. Even if they don't support it,
3026 it is safe to say Y here.
3028 The PPP Deflate compression method ("PPP Deflate compression",
3029 above) is preferable to BSD-Compress, because it compresses better
3032 Note that the BSD compression code will always be compiled as a
3033 module; it is called bsd_comp and will show up in the directory
3034 modules once you have said "make modules". If unsure, say N.
3037 tristate "PPP MPPE compression (encryption) (EXPERIMENTAL)"
3038 depends on PPP && EXPERIMENTAL
3044 Support for the MPPE Encryption protocol, as employed by the
3045 Microsoft Point-to-Point Tunneling Protocol.
3047 See http://pptpclient.sourceforge.net/ for information on
3048 configuring PPTP clients and servers to utilize this method.
3051 tristate "PPP over Ethernet (EXPERIMENTAL)"
3052 depends on EXPERIMENTAL && PPP
3054 Support for PPP over Ethernet.
3056 This driver requires the latest version of pppd from the CVS
3057 repository at cvs.samba.org. Alternatively, see the
3058 RoaringPenguin package (<http://www.roaringpenguin.com/pppoe>)
3059 which contains instruction on how to use this driver (under
3060 the heading "Kernel mode PPPoE").
3063 tristate "PPP over ATM"
3064 depends on ATM && PPP
3066 Support PPP (Point to Point Protocol) encapsulated in ATM frames.
3067 This implementation does not yet comply with section 8 of RFC2364,
3068 which can lead to bad results if the ATM peer loses state and
3069 changes its encapsulation unilaterally.
3072 tristate "PPP over L2TP (EXPERIMENTAL)"
3073 depends on EXPERIMENTAL && PPP && INET
3075 Support for PPP-over-L2TP socket family. L2TP is a protocol
3076 used by ISPs and enterprises to tunnel PPP traffic over UDP
3077 tunnels. L2TP is replacing PPTP for VPN uses.
3079 This kernel component handles only L2TP data packets: a
3080 userland daemon handles L2TP the control protocol (tunnel
3081 and session setup). One such daemon is OpenL2TP
3082 (http://openl2tp.sourceforge.net/).
3085 tristate "SLIP (serial line) support"
3087 Say Y if you intend to use SLIP or CSLIP (compressed SLIP) to
3088 connect to your Internet service provider or to connect to some
3089 other local Unix box or if you want to configure your Linux box as a
3090 Slip/CSlip server for other people to dial in. SLIP (Serial Line
3091 Internet Protocol) is a protocol used to send Internet traffic over
3092 serial connections such as telephone lines or null modem cables;
3093 nowadays, the protocol PPP is more commonly used for this same
3096 Normally, your access provider has to support SLIP in order for you
3097 to be able to use it, but there is now a SLIP emulator called SLiRP
3098 around (available from
3099 <ftp://ibiblio.org/pub/Linux/system/network/serial/>) which
3100 allows you to use SLIP over a regular dial up shell connection. If
3101 you plan to use SLiRP, make sure to say Y to CSLIP, below. The
3102 NET-3-HOWTO, available from
3103 <http://www.tldp.org/docs.html#howto>, explains how to
3104 configure SLIP. Note that you don't need this option if you just
3105 want to run term (term is a program which gives you almost full
3106 Internet connectivity if you have a regular dial up shell account on
3107 some Internet connected Unix computer. Read
3108 <http://www.bart.nl/~patrickr/term-howto/Term-HOWTO.html>). SLIP
3109 support will enlarge your kernel by about 4 KB. If unsure, say N.
3111 To compile this driver as a module, choose M here. The module
3112 will be called slip.
3114 config SLIP_COMPRESSED
3115 bool "CSLIP compressed headers"
3119 This protocol is faster than SLIP because it uses compression on the
3120 TCP/IP headers (not on the data itself), but it has to be supported
3121 on both ends. Ask your access provider if you are not sure and
3122 answer Y, just in case. You will still be able to use plain SLIP. If
3123 you plan to use SLiRP, the SLIP emulator (available from
3124 <ftp://ibiblio.org/pub/Linux/system/network/serial/>) which
3125 allows you to use SLIP over a regular dial up shell connection, you
3126 definitely want to say Y here. The NET-3-HOWTO, available from
3127 <http://www.tldp.org/docs.html#howto>, explains how to configure
3128 CSLIP. This won't enlarge your kernel.
3133 This option enables Van Jacobsen serial line header compression
3137 bool "Keepalive and linefill"
3140 Adds additional capabilities to the SLIP driver to support the
3141 RELCOM line fill and keepalive monitoring. Ideal on poor quality
3144 config SLIP_MODE_SLIP6
3145 bool "Six bit SLIP encapsulation"
3148 Just occasionally you may need to run IP over hostile serial
3149 networks that don't pass all control characters or are only seven
3150 bit. Saying Y here adds an extra mode you can use with SLIP:
3151 "slip6". In this mode, SLIP will only send normal ASCII symbols over
3152 the serial device. Naturally, this has to be supported at the other
3153 end of the link as well. It's good enough, for example, to run IP
3154 over the async ports of a Camtec JNT Pad. If unsure, say N.
3157 bool "Fibre Channel driver support"
3158 depends on SCSI && PCI
3160 Fibre Channel is a high speed serial protocol mainly used to connect
3161 large storage devices to the computer; it is compatible with and
3162 intended to replace SCSI.
3164 If you intend to use Fibre Channel, you need to have a Fibre channel
3165 adaptor card in your computer; say Y here and to the driver for your
3166 adaptor below. You also should have said Y to "SCSI support" and
3167 "SCSI generic support".
3170 tristate "Network console logging support (EXPERIMENTAL)"
3171 depends on EXPERIMENTAL
3173 If you want to log kernel messages over the network, enable this.
3174 See <file:Documentation/networking/netconsole.txt> for details.
3176 config NETCONSOLE_DYNAMIC
3177 bool "Dynamic reconfiguration of logging targets (EXPERIMENTAL)"
3178 depends on NETCONSOLE && SYSFS && EXPERIMENTAL
3181 This option enables the ability to dynamically reconfigure target
3182 parameters (interface, IP addresses, port numbers, MAC addresses)
3183 at runtime through a userspace interface exported using configfs.
3184 See <file:Documentation/networking/netconsole.txt> for details.
3190 bool "Netpoll traffic trapping"
3194 config NET_POLL_CONTROLLER
3198 tristate "Virtio network driver (EXPERIMENTAL)"
3199 depends on EXPERIMENTAL && VIRTIO
3201 This is the virtual network driver for virtio. It can be used with
3202 lguest or QEMU based VMMs (like KVM or Xen). Say Y or M.
