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.

32 hardware TX queues on an ethernet device.
34 Most people will say N here.
37 tristate "Intermediate Functional Block support"
38 depends on NET_CLS_ACT
40 This is an intermediate driver that allows sharing of
42 To compile this driver as a module, choose M here: the module
43 will be called ifb. If you want to use more than one ifb
44 device at a time, you need to compile this driver as a module.
45 Instead of 'ifb', the devices will then be called 'ifb0',
47 Look at the iproute2 documentation directory for usage etc
50 tristate "Dummy net driver support"
52 This is essentially a bit-bucket device (i.e. traffic you send to
53 this device is consigned into oblivion) with a configurable IP
54 address. It is most commonly used in order to make your currently
55 inactive SLIP address seem like a real address for local programs.
56 If you use SLIP or PPP, you might want to say Y here. Since this
57 thing often comes in handy, the default is Y. It won't enlarge your
58 kernel either. What a deal. Read about it in the Network
59 Administrator's Guide, available from
60 <http://www.tldp.org/docs.html#guide>.
62 To compile this driver as a module, choose M here: the module
63 will be called dummy. If you want to use more than one dummy
64 device at a time, you need to compile this driver as a module.
65 Instead of 'dummy', the devices will then be called 'dummy0',
69 tristate "Bonding driver support"
72 Say 'Y' or 'M' if you wish to be able to 'bond' multiple Ethernet
73 Channels together. This is called 'Etherchannel' by Cisco,
74 'Trunking' by Sun, 802.3ad by the IEEE, and 'Bonding' in Linux.
76 The driver supports multiple bonding modes to allow for both high
77 performance and high availability operation.
79 Refer to <file:Documentation/networking/bonding.txt> for more
82 To compile this driver as a module, choose M here: the module
83 will be called bonding.

90 or from specific MAC addresses to a particular interface.
92 To compile this driver as a module, choose M here: the module
93 will be called macvlan.
96 tristate "EQL (serial line load balancing) support"
98 If you have two serial connections to some other computer (this
99 usually requires two modems and two telephone lines) and you use
100 SLIP (the protocol for sending Internet traffic over telephone
101 lines) or PPP (a better SLIP) on them, you can make them behave like
102 one double speed connection using this driver. Naturally, this has
103 to be supported at the other end as well, either with a similar EQL
104 Linux driver or with a Livingston Portmaster 2e.
106 Say Y if you want this and read
107 <file:Documentation/networking/eql.txt>. You may also want to read
108 section 6.2 of the NET-3-HOWTO, available from
109 <http://www.tldp.org/docs.html#howto>.
111 To compile this driver as a module, choose M here: the module
112 will be called eql. If unsure, say N.
115 tristate "Universal TUN/TAP device driver support"
118 TUN/TAP provides packet reception and transmission for user space
119 programs. It can be viewed as a simple Point-to-Point or Ethernet
120 device, which instead of receiving packets from a physical media,
121 receives them from user space program and instead of sending packets
122 via physical media writes them to the user space program.
124 When a program opens /dev/net/tun, driver creates and registers
125 corresponding net device tunX or tapX. After a program closed above
126 devices, driver will automatically delete tunXX or tapXX device and
127 all routes corresponding to it.
129 Please read <file:Documentation/networking/tuntap.txt> for more
132 To compile this driver as a module, choose M here: the module
135 If you don't know what to use this for, you don't need it.

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

170 bool "Ethernet (10 or 100Mbit)"
173 Ethernet (also called IEEE 802.3 or ISO 8802-2) is the most common
174 type of Local Area Network (LAN) in universities and companies.
176 Common varieties of Ethernet are: 10BASE-2 or Thinnet (10 Mbps over
177 coaxial cable, linking computers in a chain), 10BASE-T or twisted
178 pair (10 Mbps over twisted pair cable, linking computers to central
179 hubs), 10BASE-F (10 Mbps over optical fiber links, using hubs),
180 100BASE-TX (100 Mbps over two twisted pair cables, using hubs),
181 100BASE-T4 (100 Mbps over 4 standard voice-grade twisted pair
182 cables, using hubs), 100BASE-FX (100 Mbps over optical fiber links)
183 [the 100BASE varieties are also known as Fast Ethernet], and Gigabit
184 Ethernet (1 Gbps over optical fiber or short copper links).
186 If your Linux machine will be connected to an Ethernet and you have
187 an Ethernet network interface card (NIC) installed in your computer,
188 say Y here and read the Ethernet-HOWTO, available from
189 <http://www.tldp.org/docs.html#howto>. You will then also have
190 to say Y to the driver for your particular NIC.
192 Note that the answer to this question won't directly affect the
193 kernel: saying N will just cause the configurator to skip all
194 the questions about Ethernet network cards. If unsure, say N.
199 tristate "Generic Media Independent Interface device support"
201 Most ethernet controllers have MII transceiver either as an external
202 or internal device. It is safe to say Y or M here even if your

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

1646 bool "Use PIO instead of MMIO"
1650 This instructs the driver to use programmed I/O ports (PIO) instead
1651 of PCI shared memory (MMIO). This can possibly solve some problems
1652 in case your mainboard has memory consistency issues. If unsure,
1655 config 8139TOO_TUNE_TWISTER
1656 bool "Support for uncommon RTL-8139 rev. K (automatic channel equalization)"
1659 This implements a function which might come in handy in case you
1660 are using low quality on long cabling. It is required for RealTek
1661 RTL-8139 revision K boards, and totally unused otherwise. It tries
1662 to match the transceiver to the cable characteristics. This is
1663 experimental since hardly documented by the manufacturer.
1667 bool "Support for older RTL-8129/8130 boards"
1670 This enables support for the older and uncommon RTL-8129 and
1671 RTL-8130 chips, which support MII via an external transceiver,

2522 design; essentially a replacement for high speed Ethernet. FDDI can
2523 run over copper or fiber. If you are connected to such a network and
2524 want a driver for the FDDI card in your computer, say Y here (and
2525 then also Y to the driver for your FDDI card, below). Most people
2529 tristate "Digital DEFTA/DEFEA/DEFPA adapter support"
2530 depends on FDDI && (PCI || EISA || TC)
2532 This is support for the DIGITAL series of TURBOchannel (DEFTA),
2533 EISA (DEFEA) and PCI (DEFPA) controllers which can connect you
2534 to a local FDDI network.
2536 To compile this driver as a module, choose M here: the module
2537 will be called defxx. If unsure, say N.
2541 prompt "Use MMIO instead of PIO" if PCI || EISA
2543 default n if PCI || EISA
2546 This instructs the driver to use EISA or PCI memory-mapped I/O
2547 (MMIO) as appropriate instead of programmed I/O ports (PIO).
2548 Enabling this gives an improvement in processing time in parts
2549 of the driver, but it may cause problems with EISA (DEFEA)
2550 adapters. TURBOchannel does not have the concept of I/O ports,
2551 so MMIO is always used for these (DEFTA) adapters.
2556 tristate "SysKonnect FDDI PCI support"
2557 depends on FDDI && PCI

2588 bool "HIPPI driver support (EXPERIMENTAL)"
2589 depends on EXPERIMENTAL && INET && PCI
2591 HIgh Performance Parallel Interface (HIPPI) is a 800Mbit/sec and
2592 1600Mbit/sec dual-simplex switched or point-to-point network. HIPPI
2593 can run over copper (25m) or fiber (300m on multi-mode or 10km on
2594 single-mode). HIPPI networks are commonly used for clusters and to
2595 connect to super computers. If you are connected to a HIPPI network
2596 and have a HIPPI network card in your computer that you want to use
2597 under Linux, say Y here (you must also remember to enable the driver
2598 for your HIPPI card below). Most people will say N here.
2601 tristate "Essential RoadRunner HIPPI PCI adapter support (EXPERIMENTAL)"
2602 depends on HIPPI && PCI

2614 of additional memory to allow for fastest operation, both for
2615 transmitting and receiving. This memory cannot be used by any other
2616 kernel code or by user space programs. Say Y here only if you have
2620 tristate "PLIP (parallel port) support"
2623 PLIP (Parallel Line Internet Protocol) is used to create a
2624 reasonably fast mini network consisting of two (or, rarely, more)
2625 local machines. A PLIP link from a Linux box is a popular means to
2626 install a Linux distribution on a machine which doesn't have a
2627 CD-ROM drive (a minimal system has to be transferred with floppies
2628 first). The kernels on both machines need to have this PLIP option
2629 enabled for this to work.
2631 The PLIP driver has two modes, mode 0 and mode 1. The parallel
2632 ports (the connectors at the computers with 25 holes) are connected
2633 with "null printer" or "Turbo Laplink" cables which can transmit 4
2634 bits at a time (mode 0) or with special PLIP cables, to be used on
2635 bidirectional parallel ports only, which can transmit 8 bits at a
2636 time (mode 1); you can find the wiring of these cables in
2637 <file:Documentation/networking/PLIP.txt>. The cables can be up to
2638 15m long. Mode 0 works also if one of the machines runs DOS/Windows
2639 and has some PLIP software installed, e.g. the Crynwr PLIP packet
2640 driver (<http://oak.oakland.edu/simtel.net/msdos/pktdrvr-pre.html>)
2641 and winsock or NCSA's telnet.
2643 If you want to use PLIP, say Y and read the PLIP mini-HOWTO as well
2644 as the NET-3-HOWTO, both available from
2645 <http://www.tldp.org/docs.html#howto>. Note that the PLIP
2646 protocol has been changed and this PLIP driver won't work together
2647 with the PLIP support in Linux versions 1.0.x. This option enlarges
2648 your kernel by about 8 KB.
2650 To compile this driver as a module, choose M here and read
2651 <file:Documentation/networking/net-modules.txt>. The module will be
2652 called plip. If unsure, say Y or M, in case you buy a laptop
2656 tristate "PPP (point-to-point protocol) support"
2659 PPP (Point to Point Protocol) is a newer and better SLIP. It serves
2660 the same purpose: sending Internet traffic over telephone (and other
2661 serial) lines. Ask your access provider if they support it, because
2662 otherwise you can't use it; most Internet access providers these
2663 days support PPP rather than SLIP.
2665 To use PPP, you need an additional program called pppd as described
2666 in the PPP-HOWTO, available at
2667 <http://www.tldp.org/docs.html#howto>. Make sure that you have
2668 the version of pppd recommended in <file:Documentation/Changes>.
2669 The PPP option enlarges your kernel by about 16 KB.
2671 There are actually two versions of PPP: the traditional PPP for
2672 asynchronous lines, such as regular analog phone lines, and
2673 synchronous PPP which can be used over digital ISDN lines for
2674 example. If you want to use PPP over phone lines or other
2675 asynchronous serial lines, you need to say Y (or M) here and also to
2676 the next option, "PPP support for async serial ports". For PPP over
2677 synchronous lines, you should say Y (or M) here and to "Support
2678 synchronous PPP", below.
2680 If you said Y to "Version information on all symbols" above, then
2681 you cannot compile the PPP driver into the kernel; you can then only
2682 compile it as a module. To compile this driver as a module, choose M
2683 here and read <file:Documentation/networking/net-modules.txt>.
2684 The module will be called ppp_generic.
2686 config PPP_MULTILINK
2687 bool "PPP multilink support (EXPERIMENTAL)"
2688 depends on PPP && EXPERIMENTAL
2690 PPP multilink is a protocol (defined in RFC 1990) which allows you
2691 to combine several (logical or physical) lines into one logical PPP
2692 connection, so that you can utilize your full bandwidth.
2694 This has to be supported at the other end as well and you need a
2695 version of the pppd daemon which understands the multilink protocol.
2700 bool "PPP filtering"
2703 Say Y here if you want to be able to filter the packets passing over
2704 PPP interfaces. This allows you to control which packets count as
2705 activity (i.e. which packets will reset the idle timer or bring up
2706 a demand-dialed link) and which packets are to be dropped entirely.
2707 You need to say Y here if you wish to use the pass-filter and
2708 active-filter options to pppd.
2713 tristate "PPP support for async serial ports"
2717 Say Y (or M) here if you want to be able to use PPP over standard
2718 asynchronous serial ports, such as COM1 or COM2 on a PC. If you use
2719 a modem (not a synchronous or ISDN modem) to contact your ISP, you
2722 To compile this driver as a module, choose M here.
2727 tristate "PPP support for sync tty ports"
2730 Say Y (or M) here if you want to be able to use PPP over synchronous
2731 (HDLC) tty devices, such as the SyncLink adapter. These devices
2732 are often used for high-speed leased lines like T1/E1.
2734 To compile this driver as a module, choose M here.
2737 tristate "PPP Deflate compression"
2742 Support for the Deflate compression method for PPP, which uses the
2743 Deflate algorithm (the same algorithm that gzip uses) to compress
2744 each PPP packet before it is sent over the wire. The machine at the
2745 other end of the PPP link (usually your ISP) has to support the
2746 Deflate compression method as well for this to be useful. Even if
2747 they don't support it, it is safe to say Y here.
2749 To compile this driver as a module, choose M here.
2752 tristate "PPP BSD-Compress compression"
2755 Support for the BSD-Compress compression method for PPP, which uses
2756 the LZW compression method to compress each PPP packet before it is
2757 sent over the wire. The machine at the other end of the PPP link
2758 (usually your ISP) has to support the BSD-Compress compression
2759 method as well for this to be useful. Even if they don't support it,
2760 it is safe to say Y here.
2762 The PPP Deflate compression method ("PPP Deflate compression",
2763 above) is preferable to BSD-Compress, because it compresses better
2766 Note that the BSD compression code will always be compiled as a
2767 module; it is called bsd_comp and will show up in the directory
2768 modules once you have said "make modules". If unsure, say N.
2771 tristate "PPP MPPE compression (encryption) (EXPERIMENTAL)"
2772 depends on PPP && EXPERIMENTAL
2778 Support for the MPPE Encryption protocol, as employed by the
2779 Microsoft Point-to-Point Tunneling Protocol.
2781 See http://pptpclient.sourceforge.net/ for information on
2782 configuring PPTP clients and servers to utilize this method.
2785 tristate "PPP over Ethernet (EXPERIMENTAL)"
2786 depends on EXPERIMENTAL && PPP
2788 Support for PPP over Ethernet.
2790 This driver requires the latest version of pppd from the CVS
2791 repository at cvs.samba.org. Alternatively, see the
2792 RoaringPenguin package (<http://www.roaringpenguin.com/pppoe>)
2793 which contains instruction on how to use this driver (under
2794 the heading "Kernel mode PPPoE").
2797 tristate "PPP over ATM"
2798 depends on ATM && PPP
2800 Support PPP (Point to Point Protocol) encapsulated in ATM frames.
2801 This implementation does not yet comply with section 8 of RFC2364,
2802 which can lead to bad results if the ATM peer loses state and
2803 changes its encapsulation unilaterally.
2806 tristate "PPP over L2TP (EXPERIMENTAL)"
2807 depends on EXPERIMENTAL && PPP
2809 Support for PPP-over-L2TP socket family. L2TP is a protocol
2810 used by ISPs and enterprises to tunnel PPP traffic over UDP
2811 tunnels. L2TP is replacing PPTP for VPN uses.
2813 This kernel component handles only L2TP data packets: a
2814 userland daemon handles L2TP the control protocol (tunnel
2815 and session setup). One such daemon is OpenL2TP
2816 (http://openl2tp.sourceforge.net/).
2819 tristate "SLIP (serial line) support"
2821 Say Y if you intend to use SLIP or CSLIP (compressed SLIP) to
2822 connect to your Internet service provider or to connect to some
2823 other local Unix box or if you want to configure your Linux box as a
2824 Slip/CSlip server for other people to dial in. SLIP (Serial Line
2825 Internet Protocol) is a protocol used to send Internet traffic over
2826 serial connections such as telephone lines or null modem cables;
2827 nowadays, the protocol PPP is more commonly used for this same
2830 Normally, your access provider has to support SLIP in order for you
2831 to be able to use it, but there is now a SLIP emulator called SLiRP
2832 around (available from
2833 <ftp://ibiblio.org/pub/Linux/system/network/serial/>) which
2834 allows you to use SLIP over a regular dial up shell connection. If
2835 you plan to use SLiRP, make sure to say Y to CSLIP, below. The
2836 NET-3-HOWTO, available from
2837 <http://www.tldp.org/docs.html#howto>, explains how to
2838 configure SLIP. Note that you don't need this option if you just
2839 want to run term (term is a program which gives you almost full
2840 Internet connectivity if you have a regular dial up shell account on
2841 some Internet connected Unix computer. Read
2842 <http://www.bart.nl/~patrickr/term-howto/Term-HOWTO.html>). SLIP
2843 support will enlarge your kernel by about 4 KB. If unsure, say N.
2845 To compile this driver as a module, choose M here and read
2846 <file:Documentation/networking/net-modules.txt>. The module will be
2849 config SLIP_COMPRESSED
2850 bool "CSLIP compressed headers"
2854 This protocol is faster than SLIP because it uses compression on the
2855 TCP/IP headers (not on the data itself), but it has to be supported
2856 on both ends. Ask your access provider if you are not sure and
2857 answer Y, just in case. You will still be able to use plain SLIP. If
2858 you plan to use SLiRP, the SLIP emulator (available from
2859 <ftp://ibiblio.org/pub/Linux/system/network/serial/>) which
2860 allows you to use SLIP over a regular dial up shell connection, you
2861 definitely want to say Y here. The NET-3-HOWTO, available from
2862 <http://www.tldp.org/docs.html#howto>, explains how to configure
2863 CSLIP. This won't enlarge your kernel.
2868 This option enables Van Jacobsen serial line header compression
2872 bool "Keepalive and linefill"
2875 Adds additional capabilities to the SLIP driver to support the
2876 RELCOM line fill and keepalive monitoring. Ideal on poor quality
2879 config SLIP_MODE_SLIP6
2880 bool "Six bit SLIP encapsulation"
2883 Just occasionally you may need to run IP over hostile serial
2884 networks that don't pass all control characters or are only seven
2885 bit. Saying Y here adds an extra mode you can use with SLIP:
2886 "slip6". In this mode, SLIP will only send normal ASCII symbols over
2887 the serial device. Naturally, this has to be supported at the other
2888 end of the link as well. It's good enough, for example, to run IP
2889 over the async ports of a Camtec JNT Pad. If unsure, say N.
2892 bool "Fibre Channel driver support"
2893 depends on SCSI && PCI
2895 Fibre Channel is a high speed serial protocol mainly used to connect
2896 large storage devices to the computer; it is compatible with and
2897 intended to replace SCSI.
2899 If you intend to use Fibre Channel, you need to have a Fibre channel
2900 adaptor card in your computer; say Y here and to the driver for your
2901 adaptor below. You also should have said Y to "SCSI support" and
2902 "SCSI generic support".
2905 tristate "Traffic Shaper (OBSOLETE)"
2906 depends on EXPERIMENTAL
2908 The traffic shaper is a virtual network device that allows you to
2909 limit the rate of outgoing data flow over some other network device.
2910 The traffic that you want to slow down can then be routed through
2911 these virtual devices. See
2912 <file:Documentation/networking/shaper.txt> for more information.
2914 An alternative to this traffic shaper are traffic schedulers which
2915 you'll get if you say Y to "QoS and/or fair queuing" in
2916 "Networking options".
2918 To compile this driver as a module, choose M here: the module
2919 will be called shaper. If unsure, say N.
2922 tristate "Network console logging support (EXPERIMENTAL)"
2923 depends on EXPERIMENTAL
2925 If you want to log kernel messages over the network, enable this.
2926 See <file:Documentation/networking/netconsole.txt> for details.
2932 bool "Netpoll traffic trapping"
2936 config NET_POLL_CONTROLLER
