2 # wan devices configuration
6 bool "Wan interfaces support"
8 Wide Area Networks (WANs), such as X.25, Frame Relay and leased
9 lines, are used to interconnect Local Area Networks (LANs) over vast
10 distances with data transfer rates significantly higher than those
11 achievable with commonly used asynchronous modem connections.
13 Usually, a quite expensive external device called a `WAN router' is
14 needed to connect to a WAN. As an alternative, a relatively
15 inexpensive WAN interface card can allow your Linux box to directly

47 character device, synchronous PPP network device, or the Cisco HDLC
50 You will need user-space utilities COSA or SRP boards for downloading
51 the firmware to the cards and to set them up. Look at the

289 FarSite Communications Ltd.
291 Synchronous communication is supported on all ports at speeds up to
292 8Mb/s (128K on V.24) using synchronous PPP, Cisco HDLC, raw HDLC,
293 Frame Relay or X.25/LAPB.
295 If you want the module to be automatically loaded when the interface
296 is referenced then you should add "alias hdlcX farsync" to
297 /etc/modprobe.conf for each interface, where X is 0, 1, 2, ..., or
298 simply use "alias hdlc* farsync" to indicate all of them.

314 To compile this driver as a module, choose M here: the
315 module will be called dscc4.
318 bool "Etinc PCISYNC features"
321 Due to Etinc's design choice for its PCISYNC cards, some operations
322 are only allowed on specific ports of the DSCC4. This option is the
323 only way for the driver to know that it shouldn't return a success
324 code for these operations.
326 Please say Y if your card is an Etinc's PCISYNC.
329 bool "Hard reset support"
332 Various DSCC4 bugs forbid any reliable software reset of the ASIC.
333 As a replacement, some vendors provide a way to assert the PCI #RST
334 pin of DSCC4 through the GPIO port of the card. If you choose Y,
335 the driver will make use of this feature before module removal
336 (i.e. rmmod). The feature is known to be available on Commtech's
337 cards. Contact your manufacturer for details.
339 Say Y if your card supports this feature.
342 tristate "Frame Relay DLCI support"
344 Support for the Frame Relay protocol.
346 Frame Relay is a fast low-cost way to connect to a remote Internet
347 access provider or to form a private wide area network. The one
348 physical line from your box to the local "switch" (i.e. the entry
349 point to the Frame Relay network, usually at the phone company) can
350 carry several logical point-to-point connections to other computers
351 connected to the Frame Relay network. For a general explanation of
352 the protocol, check out <http://www.mplsforum.org/>.
354 To use frame relay, you need supporting hardware (called FRAD) and
355 certain programs from the net-tools package as explained in
356 <file:Documentation/networking/framerelay.txt>.
358 To compile this driver as a module, choose M here: the
359 module will be called dlci.
362 int "Max DLCI per device"

367 identifiers of which are called DCLIs) should be handled by each
368 of your hardware frame relay access devices.

379 These are multi-protocol cards, but only Frame Relay is supported
380 by the driver at this time. Please read
381 <file:Documentation/networking/framerelay.txt>.
383 To compile this driver as a module, choose M here: the
384 module will be called sdla.

396 <file:Documentation/networking/wan-router.txt>.
398 Note that the answer to this question won't directly affect the
399 kernel except for how subordinate drivers may be built:
400 saying N will just cause the configurator to skip all
401 the questions about WAN router drivers.
406 tristate "Cyclom 2X(tm) cards (EXPERIMENTAL)"
407 depends on WAN_ROUTER_DRIVERS && (PCI || ISA)
409 Cyclom 2X from Cyclades Corporation <http://www.cyclades.com/> is an
410 intelligent multiprotocol WAN adapter with data transfer rates up to

413 While no documentation is available at this time please grab the
415 <http://www.conectiva.com.br/~acme/cycsyn-devel/> (with minor changes
416 to make it compile with the current wanrouter include files; efforts
417 are being made to use the original package available at

422 additional details, I hope to have documentation available as soon as
423 possible. (Cyclades Brazil is writing the Documentation).
