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.

29 tristate "Intermediate Functional Block support"
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"
64 Say 'Y' or 'M' if you wish to be able to 'bond' multiple Ethernet
65 Channels together. This is called 'Etherchannel' by Cisco,
66 'Trunking' by Sun, 802.3ad by the IEEE, and 'Bonding' in Linux.
68 The driver supports multiple bonding modes to allow for both high
69 performance and high availability operation.
71 Refer to <file:Documentation/networking/bonding.txt> for more
74 To compile this driver as a module, choose M here: the module
75 will be called bonding.
78 tristate "EQL (serial line load balancing) support"
80 If you have two serial connections to some other computer (this
81 usually requires two modems and two telephone lines) and you use
82 SLIP (the protocol for sending Internet traffic over telephone
83 lines) or PPP (a better SLIP) on them, you can make them behave like
84 one double speed connection using this driver. Naturally, this has
85 to be supported at the other end as well, either with a similar EQL
86 Linux driver or with a Livingston Portmaster 2e.
88 Say Y if you want this and read
89 <file:Documentation/networking/eql.txt>. You may also want to read
90 section 6.2 of the NET-3-HOWTO, available from
91 <http://www.tldp.org/docs.html#howto>.
93 To compile this driver as a module, choose M here: the module
94 will be called eql. If unsure, say N.
97 tristate "Universal TUN/TAP device driver support"
100 TUN/TAP provides packet reception and transmission for user space
101 programs. It can be viewed as a simple Point-to-Point or Ethernet
102 device, which instead of receiving packets from a physical media,
103 receives them from user space program and instead of sending packets
104 via physical media writes them to the user space program.
106 When a program opens /dev/net/tun, driver creates and registers
107 corresponding net device tunX or tapX. After a program closed above
108 devices, driver will automatically delete tunXX or tapXX device and
109 all routes corresponding to it.
111 Please read <file:Documentation/networking/tuntap.txt> for more
114 To compile this driver as a module, choose M here: the module
117 If you don't know what to use this for, you don't need it.
120 tristate "General Instruments Surfboard 1000"
123 This is a driver for the General Instrument (also known as
124 NextLevel) SURFboard 1000 internal
125 cable modem. This is an ISA card which is used by a number of cable
126 TV companies to provide cable modem access. It's a one-way
127 downstream-only cable modem, meaning that your upstream net link is
128 provided by your regular phone modem.
130 At present this driver only compiles as a module, so say M here if
131 you have this card. The module will be called sb1000. Then read
132 <file:Documentation/networking/README.sb1000> for information on how
133 to use this module, as it needs special ppp scripts for establishing
134 a connection. Further documentation and the necessary scripts can be

152 bool "Ethernet (10 or 100Mbit)"
155 Ethernet (also called IEEE 802.3 or ISO 8802-2) is the most common
156 type of Local Area Network (LAN) in universities and companies.
158 Common varieties of Ethernet are: 10BASE-2 or Thinnet (10 Mbps over
159 coaxial cable, linking computers in a chain), 10BASE-T or twisted
160 pair (10 Mbps over twisted pair cable, linking computers to central
161 hubs), 10BASE-F (10 Mbps over optical fiber links, using hubs),
162 100BASE-TX (100 Mbps over two twisted pair cables, using hubs),
163 100BASE-T4 (100 Mbps over 4 standard voice-grade twisted pair
164 cables, using hubs), 100BASE-FX (100 Mbps over optical fiber links)
165 [the 100BASE varieties are also known as Fast Ethernet], and Gigabit
166 Ethernet (1 Gbps over optical fiber or short copper links).
168 If your Linux machine will be connected to an Ethernet and you have
169 an Ethernet network interface card (NIC) installed in your computer,
170 say Y here and read the Ethernet-HOWTO, available from
171 <http://www.tldp.org/docs.html#howto>. You will then also have
172 to say Y to the driver for your particular NIC.
174 Note that the answer to this question won't directly affect the
175 kernel: saying N will just cause the configurator to skip all
176 the questions about Ethernet network cards. If unsure, say N.
181 tristate "Generic Media Independent Interface device support"
183 Most ethernet controllers have MII transceiver either as an external
184 or internal device. It is safe to say Y or M here even if your
185 ethernet card lack MII.

225 Some Apple machines (notably the Apple Network Server) which use the
226 MACE ethernet chip have an Apple AUI port (small 15-pin connector),
227 instead of an 8-pin RJ45 connector for twisted-pair ethernet. Say
228 Y here if you have such a machine. If unsure, say N.
229 The driver will default to AAUI on ANS anyway, and if you use it as
230 a module, you can provide the port_aaui=0|1 to force the driver.
233 tristate "BMAC (G3 ethernet) support"

1628 bool "Use PIO instead of MMIO"
1632 This instructs the driver to use programmed I/O ports (PIO) instead
1633 of PCI shared memory (MMIO). This can possibly solve some problems
1634 in case your mainboard has memory consistency issues. If unsure,
1637 config 8139TOO_TUNE_TWISTER
1638 bool "Support for uncommon RTL-8139 rev. K (automatic channel equalization)"
1641 This implements a function which might come in handy in case you
1642 are using low quality on long cabling. It is required for RealTek
1643 RTL-8139 revision K boards, and totally unused otherwise. It tries
1644 to match the transceiver to the cable characteristics. This is
1645 experimental since hardly documented by the manufacturer.
1649 bool "Support for older RTL-8129/8130 boards"
1652 This enables support for the older and uncommon RTL-8129 and
1653 RTL-8130 chips, which support MII via an external transceiver,
1654 instead of an internal one. Disabling this option will save some
1655 memory by making the code size smaller. If unsure, say Y.

1658 bool "Use older RX-reset method"
1661 The 8139too driver was recently updated to contain a more rapid
1662 reset sequence, in the face of severe receive errors. This "new"
1663 RX-reset method should be adequate for all boards. But if you

2504 design; essentially a replacement for high speed Ethernet. FDDI can
2505 run over copper or fiber. If you are connected to such a network and

2507 then also Y to the driver for your FDDI card, below). Most people
2511 tristate "Digital DEFTA/DEFEA/DEFPA adapter support"
2512 depends on FDDI && (PCI || EISA || TC)
2514 This is support for the DIGITAL series of TURBOchannel (DEFTA),
2515 EISA (DEFEA) and PCI (DEFPA) controllers which can connect you
2516 to a local FDDI network.
2518 To compile this driver as a module, choose M here: the module
2519 will be called defxx. If unsure, say N.
2523 prompt "Use MMIO instead of PIO" if PCI || EISA
2525 default n if PCI || EISA
2528 This instructs the driver to use EISA or PCI memory-mapped I/O
2529 (MMIO) as appropriate instead of programmed I/O ports (PIO).
2530 Enabling this gives an improvement in processing time in parts
2531 of the driver, but it may cause problems with EISA (DEFEA)
2532 adapters. TURBOchannel does not have the concept of I/O ports,
2533 so MMIO is always used for these (DEFTA) adapters.
2538 tristate "SysKonnect FDDI PCI support"

2573 HIgh Performance Parallel Interface (HIPPI) is a 800Mbit/sec and
2574 1600Mbit/sec dual-simplex switched or point-to-point network. HIPPI
2575 can run over copper (25m) or fiber (300m on multi-mode or 10km on
2576 single-mode). HIPPI networks are commonly used for clusters and to
2577 connect to super computers. If you are connected to a HIPPI network
2578 and have a HIPPI network card in your computer that you want to use
2579 under Linux, say Y here (you must also remember to enable the driver
2580 for your HIPPI card below). Most people will say N here.
2583 tristate "Essential RoadRunner HIPPI PCI adapter support (EXPERIMENTAL)"

2602 tristate "PLIP (parallel port) support"
2605 PLIP (Parallel Line Internet Protocol) is used to create a
2606 reasonably fast mini network consisting of two (or, rarely, more)
2607 local machines. A PLIP link from a Linux box is a popular means to
2608 install a Linux distribution on a machine which doesn't have a
2609 CD-ROM drive (a minimal system has to be transferred with floppies
2610 first). The kernels on both machines need to have this PLIP option
2611 enabled for this to work.
2613 The PLIP driver has two modes, mode 0 and mode 1. The parallel
2614 ports (the connectors at the computers with 25 holes) are connected
2615 with "null printer" or "Turbo Laplink" cables which can transmit 4
2616 bits at a time (mode 0) or with special PLIP cables, to be used on
2617 bidirectional parallel ports only, which can transmit 8 bits at a
2618 time (mode 1); you can find the wiring of these cables in
2619 <file:Documentation/networking/PLIP.txt>. The cables can be up to
2620 15m long. Mode 0 works also if one of the machines runs DOS/Windows
2621 and has some PLIP software installed, e.g. the Crynwr PLIP packet
2622 driver (<http://oak.oakland.edu/simtel.net/msdos/pktdrvr-pre.html>)
2623 and winsock or NCSA's telnet.
2625 If you want to use PLIP, say Y and read the PLIP mini-HOWTO as well
2626 as the NET-3-HOWTO, both available from
2627 <http://www.tldp.org/docs.html#howto>. Note that the PLIP
2628 protocol has been changed and this PLIP driver won't work together
2629 with the PLIP support in Linux versions 1.0.x. This option enlarges
2630 your kernel by about 8 KB.
2632 To compile this driver as a module, choose M here and read
2633 <file:Documentation/networking/net-modules.txt>. The module will be
2634 called plip. If unsure, say Y or M, in case you buy a laptop
2638 tristate "PPP (point-to-point protocol) support"
2641 PPP (Point to Point Protocol) is a newer and better SLIP. It serves
2642 the same purpose: sending Internet traffic over telephone (and other
2643 serial) lines. Ask your access provider if they support it, because
2644 otherwise you can't use it; most Internet access providers these
2645 days support PPP rather than SLIP.
2647 To use PPP, you need an additional program called pppd as described
2648 in the PPP-HOWTO, available at
2649 <http://www.tldp.org/docs.html#howto>. Make sure that you have
2650 the version of pppd recommended in <file:Documentation/Changes>.
2651 The PPP option enlarges your kernel by about 16 KB.
2653 There are actually two versions of PPP: the traditional PPP for
2654 asynchronous lines, such as regular analog phone lines, and
2655 synchronous PPP which can be used over digital ISDN lines for
2656 example. If you want to use PPP over phone lines or other
2657 asynchronous serial lines, you need to say Y (or M) here and also to
2658 the next option, "PPP support for async serial ports". For PPP over
2659 synchronous lines, you should say Y (or M) here and to "Support
2660 synchronous PPP", below.
2662 If you said Y to "Version information on all symbols" above, then
2663 you cannot compile the PPP driver into the kernel; you can then only
2664 compile it as a module. To compile this driver as a module, choose M
2665 here and read <file:Documentation/networking/net-modules.txt>.
2666 The module will be called ppp_generic.
2668 config PPP_MULTILINK
2669 bool "PPP multilink support (EXPERIMENTAL)"
2670 depends on PPP && EXPERIMENTAL
2672 PPP multilink is a protocol (defined in RFC 1990) which allows you
2673 to combine several (logical or physical) lines into one logical PPP
2674 connection, so that you can utilize your full bandwidth.
2676 This has to be supported at the other end as well and you need a
2677 version of the pppd daemon which understands the multilink protocol.
2682 bool "PPP filtering"
2685 Say Y here if you want to be able to filter the packets passing over
2686 PPP interfaces. This allows you to control which packets count as
2687 activity (i.e. which packets will reset the idle timer or bring up
2688 a demand-dialed link) and which packets are to be dropped entirely.
2689 You need to say Y here if you wish to use the pass-filter and
2690 active-filter options to pppd.
2695 tristate "PPP support for async serial ports"
2699 Say Y (or M) here if you want to be able to use PPP over standard
2700 asynchronous serial ports, such as COM1 or COM2 on a PC. If you use
2701 a modem (not a synchronous or ISDN modem) to contact your ISP, you
2704 To compile this driver as a module, choose M here.
2709 tristate "PPP support for sync tty ports"
2712 Say Y (or M) here if you want to be able to use PPP over synchronous
2713 (HDLC) tty devices, such as the SyncLink adapter. These devices
2714 are often used for high-speed leased lines like T1/E1.
2716 To compile this driver as a module, choose M here.
2719 tristate "PPP Deflate compression"
2724 Support for the Deflate compression method for PPP, which uses the
2725 Deflate algorithm (the same algorithm that gzip uses) to compress
2726 each PPP packet before it is sent over the wire. The machine at the
2727 other end of the PPP link (usually your ISP) has to support the
2728 Deflate compression method as well for this to be useful. Even if
2729 they don't support it, it is safe to say Y here.
2731 To compile this driver as a module, choose M here.
2734 tristate "PPP BSD-Compress compression"
2737 Support for the BSD-Compress compression method for PPP, which uses
2738 the LZW compression method to compress each PPP packet before it is
2739 sent over the wire. The machine at the other end of the PPP link
2740 (usually your ISP) has to support the BSD-Compress compression
2741 method as well for this to be useful. Even if they don't support it,
2742 it is safe to say Y here.
2744 The PPP Deflate compression method ("PPP Deflate compression",
2745 above) is preferable to BSD-Compress, because it compresses better
2748 Note that the BSD compression code will always be compiled as a
2749 module; it is called bsd_comp and will show up in the directory
2750 modules once you have said "make modules". If unsure, say N.
2753 tristate "PPP MPPE compression (encryption) (EXPERIMENTAL)"
2754 depends on PPP && EXPERIMENTAL
2760 Support for the MPPE Encryption protocol, as employed by the
2761 Microsoft Point-to-Point Tunneling Protocol.
2763 See http://pptpclient.sourceforge.net/ for information on
2764 configuring PPTP clients and servers to utilize this method.
2767 tristate "PPP over Ethernet (EXPERIMENTAL)"
2768 depends on EXPERIMENTAL && PPP
2770 Support for PPP over Ethernet.
2772 This driver requires the latest version of pppd from the CVS
2773 repository at cvs.samba.org. Alternatively, see the
2774 RoaringPenguin package (<http://www.roaringpenguin.com/pppoe>)
2775 which contains instruction on how to use this driver (under
2776 the heading "Kernel mode PPPoE").
2779 tristate "PPP over ATM"
2780 depends on ATM && PPP
2782 Support PPP (Point to Point Protocol) encapsulated in ATM frames.
2783 This implementation does not yet comply with section 8 of RFC2364,
2784 which can lead to bad results if the ATM peer loses state and
2785 changes its encapsulation unilaterally.
2788 tristate "SLIP (serial line) support"
2790 Say Y if you intend to use SLIP or CSLIP (compressed SLIP) to
2791 connect to your Internet service provider or to connect to some
2792 other local Unix box or if you want to configure your Linux box as a
2793 Slip/CSlip server for other people to dial in. SLIP (Serial Line
2794 Internet Protocol) is a protocol used to send Internet traffic over
2795 serial connections such as telephone lines or null modem cables;
2796 nowadays, the protocol PPP is more commonly used for this same
2799 Normally, your access provider has to support SLIP in order for you
2800 to be able to use it, but there is now a SLIP emulator called SLiRP
2801 around (available from
2802 <ftp://ibiblio.org/pub/Linux/system/network/serial/>) which
2803 allows you to use SLIP over a regular dial up shell connection. If
2804 you plan to use SLiRP, make sure to say Y to CSLIP, below. The
2805 NET-3-HOWTO, available from
2806 <http://www.tldp.org/docs.html#howto>, explains how to
2807 configure SLIP. Note that you don't need this option if you just
2808 want to run term (term is a program which gives you almost full
2809 Internet connectivity if you have a regular dial up shell account on
2810 some Internet connected Unix computer. Read
2811 <http://www.bart.nl/~patrickr/term-howto/Term-HOWTO.html>). SLIP
2812 support will enlarge your kernel by about 4 KB. If unsure, say N.

2815 <file:Documentation/networking/net-modules.txt>. The module will be
2818 config SLIP_COMPRESSED
2819 bool "CSLIP compressed headers"
2823 This protocol is faster than SLIP because it uses compression on the
2824 TCP/IP headers (not on the data itself), but it has to be supported
2825 on both ends. Ask your access provider if you are not sure and
2826 answer Y, just in case. You will still be able to use plain SLIP. If
2827 you plan to use SLiRP, the SLIP emulator (available from
2828 <ftp://ibiblio.org/pub/Linux/system/network/serial/>) which
2829 allows you to use SLIP over a regular dial up shell connection, you
2830 definitely want to say Y here. The NET-3-HOWTO, available from
2831 <http://www.tldp.org/docs.html#howto>, explains how to configure
2832 CSLIP. This won't enlarge your kernel.
2837 This option enables Van Jacobsen serial line header compression
2841 bool "Keepalive and linefill"
2844 Adds additional capabilities to the SLIP driver to support the
2845 RELCOM line fill and keepalive monitoring. Ideal on poor quality
2848 config SLIP_MODE_SLIP6
2849 bool "Six bit SLIP encapsulation"
2852 Just occasionally you may need to run IP over hostile serial
2853 networks that don't pass all control characters or are only seven
2854 bit. Saying Y here adds an extra mode you can use with SLIP:
2855 "slip6". In this mode, SLIP will only send normal ASCII symbols over
2856 the serial device. Naturally, this has to be supported at the other
2857 end of the link as well. It's good enough, for example, to run IP
2858 over the async ports of a Camtec JNT Pad. If unsure, say N.
2861 bool "Fibre Channel driver support"
2862 depends on SCSI && PCI
2864 Fibre Channel is a high speed serial protocol mainly used to connect
2865 large storage devices to the computer; it is compatible with and
2866 intended to replace SCSI.
2868 If you intend to use Fibre Channel, you need to have a Fibre channel
2869 adaptor card in your computer; say Y here and to the driver for your
2870 adaptor below. You also should have said Y to "SCSI support" and
2871 "SCSI generic support".
2874 tristate "Traffic Shaper (OBSOLETE)"
2875 depends on EXPERIMENTAL
2877 The traffic shaper is a virtual network device that allows you to
2878 limit the rate of outgoing data flow over some other network device.
2879 The traffic that you want to slow down can then be routed through
2880 these virtual devices. See
2881 <file:Documentation/networking/shaper.txt> for more information.
2883 An alternative to this traffic shaper are traffic schedulers which
2884 you'll get if you say Y to "QoS and/or fair queuing" in
2885 "Networking options".
2887 To compile this driver as a module, choose M here: the module
2888 will be called shaper. If unsure, say N.
2891 tristate "Network console logging support (EXPERIMENTAL)"
2892 depends on EXPERIMENTAL
2894 If you want to log kernel messages over the network, enable this.
2895 See <file:Documentation/networking/netconsole.txt> for details.
2901 bool "Netpoll traffic trapping"
2905 config NET_POLL_CONTROLLER
