2 # Tulip family network device configuration
6 bool "\"Tulip\" family network device support"
7 depends on PCI || EISA || CARDBUS
9 This selects the "Tulip" family of EISA/PCI network cards.
14 tristate "Early DECchip Tulip (dc2104x) PCI support (EXPERIMENTAL)"
15 depends on PCI && EXPERIMENTAL
18 This driver is developed for the SMC EtherPower series Ethernet
19 cards and also works with cards based on the DECchip
20 21040 (Tulip series) chips. Some LinkSys PCI cards are
21 of this type. (If your card is NOT SMC EtherPower 10/100 PCI
22 (smc9332dst), you can also try the driver for "Generic DECchip"
23 cards, below. However, most people with a network card of this type
24 will say Y here.) Do read the Ethernet-HOWTO, available from
25 <http://www.tldp.org/docs.html#howto>.
27 To compile this driver as a module, choose M here. The module will
31 tristate "DECchip Tulip (dc2114x) PCI support"
35 This driver is developed for the SMC EtherPower series Ethernet
36 cards and also works with cards based on the DECchip
37 21140 (Tulip series) chips. Some LinkSys PCI cards are
38 of this type. (If your card is NOT SMC EtherPower 10/100 PCI
39 (smc9332dst), you can also try the driver for "Generic DECchip"
40 cards, above. However, most people with a network card of this type
41 will say Y here.) Do read the Ethernet-HOWTO, available from

48 bool "New bus configuration (EXPERIMENTAL)"
49 depends on TULIP && EXPERIMENTAL
51 This configures your Tulip card specifically for the card and
52 system cache line size type you are using.
54 This is experimental code, not yet tested on many boards.
59 bool "Use PCI shared mem for NIC registers"
62 Use PCI shared memory for the NIC registers, rather than going through
63 the Tulip's PIO (programmed I/O ports). Faster, but could produce
64 obscure bugs if your mainboard has memory controller timing issues.
68 bool "Use RX polling (NAPI)"
71 NAPI is a new driver API designed to reduce CPU and interrupt load
72 when the driver is receiving lots of packets from the card. It is
73 still somewhat experimental and thus not yet enabled by default.
75 If your estimated Rx load is 10kpps or more, or if the card will be
76 deployed on potentially unfriendly networks (e.g. in a firewall),
81 config TULIP_NAPI_HW_MITIGATION
82 bool "Use Interrupt Mitigation"
85 Use HW to reduce RX interrupts. Not strictly necessary since NAPI
86 reduces RX interrupts by itself. Interrupt mitigation reduces RX
87 interrupts even at low levels of traffic at the cost of a small
93 tristate "Generic DECchip & DIGITAL EtherWORKS PCI/EISA"
94 depends on PCI || EISA
97 This is support for the DIGITAL series of PCI/EISA Ethernet cards.
98 These include the DE425, DE434, DE435, DE450 and DE500 models. If
99 you have a network card of this type, say Y and read the
100 Ethernet-HOWTO, available from
101 <http://www.tldp.org/docs.html#howto>. More specific
102 information is contained in
103 <file:Documentation/networking/de4x5.txt>.
105 To compile this driver as a module, choose M here. The module will
109 tristate "Winbond W89c840 Ethernet support"
114 This driver is for the Winbond W89c840 chip. It also works with
115 the TX9882 chip on the Compex RL100-ATX board.
116 More specific information and updates are available from
117 <http://www.scyld.com/network/drivers.html>.
120 tristate "Davicom DM910x/DM980x support"
124 This driver is for DM9102(A)/DM9132/DM9801 compatible PCI cards from
125 Davicom (<http://www.davicom.com.tw/>). If you have such a network
126 (Ethernet) card, say Y. Some information is contained in the file
127 <file:Documentation/networking/dmfe.txt>.
129 To compile this driver as a module, choose M here. The module will
133 tristate "ULi M526x controller support"
137 This driver is for ULi M5261/M5263 10/100M Ethernet Controller
138 (<http://www.uli.com.tw/>).
140 To compile this driver as a module, choose M here. The module will
144 tristate "Xircom CardBus support"
147 This driver is for the Digital "Tulip" Ethernet CardBus adapters.
148 It should work with most DEC 21*4*-based chips/ethercards, as well
149 as with work-alike chips from Lite-On (PNIC) and Macronix (MXIC) and
152 To compile this driver as a module, choose M here. The module will
153 be called xircom_cb. If unsure, say N.
