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.

30 depends on NET_CLS_ACT
32 This is an intermidiate 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

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

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

1587 bool "Use PIO instead of MMIO"
1591 This instructs the driver to use programmed I/O ports (PIO) instead
1592 of PCI shared memory (MMIO). This can possibly solve some problems
1593 in case your mainboard has memory consistency issues. If unsure,
1596 config 8139TOO_TUNE_TWISTER
1597 bool "Support for uncommon RTL-8139 rev. K (automatic channel equalization)"
1600 This implements a function which might come in handy in case you
1601 are using low quality on long cabling. It is required for RealTek
1602 RTL-8139 revision K boards, and totally unused otherwise. It tries
1603 to match the transceiver to the cable characteristics. This is
1604 experimental since hardly documented by the manufacturer.
1608 bool "Support for older RTL-8129/8130 boards"
1611 This enables support for the older and uncommon RTL-8129 and
1612 RTL-8130 chips, which support MII via an external transceiver,
1613 instead of an internal one. Disabling this option will save some
1614 memory by making the code size smaller. If unsure, say Y.
1616 config 8139_OLD_RX_RESET
1617 bool "Use older RX-reset method"
1620 The 8139too driver was recently updated to contain a more rapid
1621 reset sequence, in the face of severe receive errors. This "new"
1622 RX-reset method should be adequate for all boards. But if you
1623 experience problems, you can enable this option to restore the
1624 old RX-reset behavior. If unsure, say N.

2430 bool "HIPPI driver support (EXPERIMENTAL)"
2431 depends on EXPERIMENTAL && INET && PCI
2433 HIgh Performance Parallel Interface (HIPPI) is a 800Mbit/sec and
2434 1600Mbit/sec dual-simplex switched or point-to-point network. HIPPI
2435 can run over copper (25m) or fiber (300m on multi-mode or 10km on
2436 single-mode). HIPPI networks are commonly used for clusters and to
2437 connect to super computers. If you are connected to a HIPPI network
2438 and have a HIPPI network card in your computer that you want to use
2439 under Linux, say Y here (you must also remember to enable the driver
2440 for your HIPPI card below). Most people will say N here.
2443 tristate "Essential RoadRunner HIPPI PCI adapter support (EXPERIMENTAL)"
2444 depends on HIPPI && PCI
2446 Say Y here if this is your PCI HIPPI network card.
2448 To compile this driver as a module, choose M here: the module
2449 will be called rrunner. If unsure, say N.
2451 config ROADRUNNER_LARGE_RINGS
2452 bool "Use large TX/RX rings (EXPERIMENTAL)"
2453 depends on ROADRUNNER
2455 If you say Y here, the RoadRunner driver will preallocate up to 2 MB
2456 of additional memory to allow for fastest operation, both for
2457 transmitting and receiving. This memory cannot be used by any other
2458 kernel code or by user space programs. Say Y here only if you have
2462 tristate "PLIP (parallel port) support"
2465 PLIP (Parallel Line Internet Protocol) is used to create a
2466 reasonably fast mini network consisting of two (or, rarely, more)
2467 local machines. A PLIP link from a Linux box is a popular means to
2468 install a Linux distribution on a machine which doesn't have a
2469 CD-ROM drive (a minimal system has to be transferred with floppies
2470 first). The kernels on both machines need to have this PLIP option
2471 enabled for this to work.
2473 The PLIP driver has two modes, mode 0 and mode 1. The parallel
2474 ports (the connectors at the computers with 25 holes) are connected
2475 with "null printer" or "Turbo Laplink" cables which can transmit 4
2476 bits at a time (mode 0) or with special PLIP cables, to be used on
2477 bidirectional parallel ports only, which can transmit 8 bits at a
2478 time (mode 1); you can find the wiring of these cables in
2479 <file:Documentation/networking/PLIP.txt>. The cables can be up to
2480 15m long. Mode 0 works also if one of the machines runs DOS/Windows
2481 and has some PLIP software installed, e.g. the Crynwr PLIP packet
2482 driver (<http://oak.oakland.edu/simtel.net/msdos/pktdrvr-pre.html>)
2483 and winsock or NCSA's telnet.
2485 If you want to use PLIP, say Y and read the PLIP mini-HOWTO as well
2486 as the NET-3-HOWTO, both available from
2487 <http://www.tldp.org/docs.html#howto>. Note that the PLIP
2488 protocol has been changed and this PLIP driver won't work together
2489 with the PLIP support in Linux versions 1.0.x. This option enlarges
2490 your kernel by about 8 KB.
2492 To compile this driver as a module, choose M here and read
2493 <file:Documentation/networking/net-modules.txt>. The module will be
2494 called plip. If unsure, say Y or M, in case you buy a laptop
2498 tristate "PPP (point-to-point protocol) support"
2500 PPP (Point to Point Protocol) is a newer and better SLIP. It serves
2501 the same purpose: sending Internet traffic over telephone (and other
2502 serial) lines. Ask your access provider if they support it, because
2503 otherwise you can't use it; most Internet access providers these
2504 days support PPP rather than SLIP.
2506 To use PPP, you need an additional program called pppd as described
2507 in the PPP-HOWTO, available at
2508 <http://www.tldp.org/docs.html#howto>. Make sure that you have
2509 the version of pppd recommended in <file:Documentation/Changes>.
2510 The PPP option enlarges your kernel by about 16 KB.
2512 There are actually two versions of PPP: the traditional PPP for
2513 asynchronous lines, such as regular analog phone lines, and
2514 synchronous PPP which can be used over digital ISDN lines for
2515 example. If you want to use PPP over phone lines or other
2516 asynchronous serial lines, you need to say Y (or M) here and also to
2517 the next option, "PPP support for async serial ports". For PPP over
2518 synchronous lines, you should say Y (or M) here and to "Support
2519 synchronous PPP", below.
2521 If you said Y to "Version information on all symbols" above, then
2522 you cannot compile the PPP driver into the kernel; you can then only
2523 compile it as a module. To compile this driver as a module, choose M
2524 here and read <file:Documentation/networking/net-modules.txt>.
2525 The module will be called ppp_generic.
2527 config PPP_MULTILINK
2528 bool "PPP multilink support (EXPERIMENTAL)"
2529 depends on PPP && EXPERIMENTAL
2531 PPP multilink is a protocol (defined in RFC 1990) which allows you
2532 to combine several (logical or physical) lines into one logical PPP
2533 connection, so that you can utilize your full bandwidth.
2535 This has to be supported at the other end as well and you need a
2536 version of the pppd daemon which understands the multilink protocol.
2541 bool "PPP filtering"
2544 Say Y here if you want to be able to filter the packets passing over
2545 PPP interfaces. This allows you to control which packets count as
2546 activity (i.e. which packets will reset the idle timer or bring up
2547 a demand-dialed link) and which packets are to be dropped entirely.
2548 You need to say Y here if you wish to use the pass-filter and
2549 active-filter options to pppd.
2554 tristate "PPP support for async serial ports"
2558 Say Y (or M) here if you want to be able to use PPP over standard
2559 asynchronous serial ports, such as COM1 or COM2 on a PC. If you use
2560 a modem (not a synchronous or ISDN modem) to contact your ISP, you
2563 To compile this driver as a module, choose M here.
2568 tristate "PPP support for sync tty ports"
2571 Say Y (or M) here if you want to be able to use PPP over synchronous
2572 (HDLC) tty devices, such as the SyncLink adapter. These devices
2573 are often used for high-speed leased lines like T1/E1.
2575 To compile this driver as a module, choose M here.
2578 tristate "PPP Deflate compression"
2583 Support for the Deflate compression method for PPP, which uses the
2584 Deflate algorithm (the same algorithm that gzip uses) to compress
2585 each PPP packet before it is sent over the wire. The machine at the
2586 other end of the PPP link (usually your ISP) has to support the
2587 Deflate compression method as well for this to be useful. Even if
2588 they don't support it, it is safe to say Y here.
2590 To compile this driver as a module, choose M here.
2593 tristate "PPP BSD-Compress compression"
2596 Support for the BSD-Compress compression method for PPP, which uses
2597 the LZW compression method to compress each PPP packet before it is
2598 sent over the wire. The machine at the other end of the PPP link
2599 (usually your ISP) has to support the BSD-Compress compression
2600 method as well for this to be useful. Even if they don't support it,
2601 it is safe to say Y here.
2603 The PPP Deflate compression method ("PPP Deflate compression",
2604 above) is preferable to BSD-Compress, because it compresses better
2607 Note that the BSD compression code will always be compiled as a
2608 module; it is called bsd_comp and will show up in the directory
2609 modules once you have said "make modules". If unsure, say N.
2612 tristate "PPP MPPE compression (encryption) (EXPERIMENTAL)"
2613 depends on PPP && EXPERIMENTAL
2618 Support for the MPPE Encryption protocol, as employed by the
2619 Microsoft Point-to-Point Tunneling Protocol.
2621 See http://pptpclient.sourceforge.net/ for information on
2622 configuring PPTP clients and servers to utilize this method.
2625 tristate "PPP over Ethernet (EXPERIMENTAL)"
2626 depends on EXPERIMENTAL && PPP
2628 Support for PPP over Ethernet.
2630 This driver requires the latest version of pppd from the CVS
2631 repository at cvs.samba.org. Alternatively, see the
2632 RoaringPenguin package (<http://www.roaringpenguin.com/pppoe>)
2633 which contains instruction on how to use this driver (under
2634 the heading "Kernel mode PPPoE").
2637 tristate "PPP over ATM"
2638 depends on ATM && PPP
2640 Support PPP (Point to Point Protocol) encapsulated in ATM frames.
2641 This implementation does not yet comply with section 8 of RFC2364,
2642 which can lead to bad results if the ATM peer loses state and
2643 changes its encapsulation unilaterally.
2646 tristate "SLIP (serial line) support"
2648 Say Y if you intend to use SLIP or CSLIP (compressed SLIP) to
2649 connect to your Internet service provider or to connect to some
2650 other local Unix box or if you want to configure your Linux box as a
2651 Slip/CSlip server for other people to dial in. SLIP (Serial Line
2652 Internet Protocol) is a protocol used to send Internet traffic over
2653 serial connections such as telephone lines or null modem cables;
2654 nowadays, the protocol PPP is more commonly used for this same
2657 Normally, your access provider has to support SLIP in order for you
2658 to be able to use it, but there is now a SLIP emulator called SLiRP
2659 around (available from
2660 <ftp://ibiblio.org/pub/Linux/system/network/serial/>) which
2661 allows you to use SLIP over a regular dial up shell connection. If
2662 you plan to use SLiRP, make sure to say Y to CSLIP, below. The
2663 NET-3-HOWTO, available from
2664 <http://www.tldp.org/docs.html#howto>, explains how to
2665 configure SLIP. Note that you don't need this option if you just
2666 want to run term (term is a program which gives you almost full
2667 Internet connectivity if you have a regular dial up shell account on
2668 some Internet connected Unix computer. Read
2669 <http://www.bart.nl/~patrickr/term-howto/Term-HOWTO.html>). SLIP
2670 support will enlarge your kernel by about 4 KB. If unsure, say N.
2672 To compile this driver as a module, choose M here and read
2673 <file:Documentation/networking/net-modules.txt>. The module will be
2676 config SLIP_COMPRESSED
2677 bool "CSLIP compressed headers"
2680 This protocol is faster than SLIP because it uses compression on the
2681 TCP/IP headers (not on the data itself), but it has to be supported
2682 on both ends. Ask your access provider if you are not sure and
2683 answer Y, just in case. You will still be able to use plain SLIP. If
2684 you plan to use SLiRP, the SLIP emulator (available from
2685 <ftp://ibiblio.org/pub/Linux/system/network/serial/>) which
2686 allows you to use SLIP over a regular dial up shell connection, you
2687 definitely want to say Y here. The NET-3-HOWTO, available from
2688 <http://www.tldp.org/docs.html#howto>, explains how to configure
2689 CSLIP. This won't enlarge your kernel.
2692 bool "Keepalive and linefill"
2695 Adds additional capabilities to the SLIP driver to support the
2696 RELCOM line fill and keepalive monitoring. Ideal on poor quality
2699 config SLIP_MODE_SLIP6
2700 bool "Six bit SLIP encapsulation"
2703 Just occasionally you may need to run IP over hostile serial
2704 networks that don't pass all control characters or are only seven
2705 bit. Saying Y here adds an extra mode you can use with SLIP:
2706 "slip6". In this mode, SLIP will only send normal ASCII symbols over
2707 the serial device. Naturally, this has to be supported at the other
2708 end of the link as well. It's good enough, for example, to run IP
2709 over the async ports of a Camtec JNT Pad. If unsure, say N.
2712 bool "Fibre Channel driver support"
2713 depends on SCSI && PCI
2715 Fibre Channel is a high speed serial protocol mainly used to connect
2716 large storage devices to the computer; it is compatible with and
2717 intended to replace SCSI.
2719 If you intend to use Fibre Channel, you need to have a Fibre channel
2720 adaptor card in your computer; say Y here and to the driver for your
2721 adaptor below. You also should have said Y to "SCSI support" and
2722 "SCSI generic support".
2725 tristate "Traffic Shaper (EXPERIMENTAL)"
2726 depends on EXPERIMENTAL
2728 The traffic shaper is a virtual network device that allows you to
2729 limit the rate of outgoing data flow over some other network device.
2730 The traffic that you want to slow down can then be routed through
2731 these virtual devices. See
2732 <file:Documentation/networking/shaper.txt> for more information.
2734 An alternative to this traffic shaper is the experimental
2735 Class-Based Queuing (CBQ) scheduling support which you get if you
2736 say Y to "QoS and/or fair queuing" above.
2738 To compile this driver as a module, choose M here: the module
2739 will be called shaper. If unsure, say N.
2742 tristate "Network console logging support (EXPERIMENTAL)"
2743 depends on EXPERIMENTAL
2745 If you want to log kernel messages over the network, enable this.
2746 See <file:Documentation/networking/netconsole.txt> for details.
2752 bool "Netpoll support for trapping incoming packets"
2757 bool "Netpoll traffic trapping"
